This weekend, the legendary writer Peter David passed away at the age of 68 after a series of prolonged illness and public health battles. He is best known for his 12-year run of The Incredible Hulk stories, but in the world of Spider-Man he contributed beloved stories for Spectacular Spider-Man, Amazing Spider-Man, and many more titles. But, he’s probably most famous for co-creating Spider-Man 2099.

In this episode, Mark and Dan pay tribute to Peter David and replay their discussion of his story “The Commuter Cometh,” which they included in their Essentials series and consider one of the funniest Spider-Man comics ever written.
