This week on Bronze and Modern Gods:

We pay tribute to legendary comic book writer Peter David, whose groundbreaking runs on The Incredible Hulk, X-Factor, Spider-Man 2099, and Aquaman changed the landscape of comics forever. From Joe Fixit to the harpoon-handed King of Atlantis, his legacy is unmatched.

Then—What If...? #105 is our Hot Book of the Week as rumors swirl that Stranger Things star Sadie Sink may be cast as Mayday Parker, aka Spider-Girl, in an upcoming MCU project! Prices are spiking, and collectors are taking notice.

PLUS—what’s this about a California casino giving away a copy of Action Comics #1?! We break down the details of Yaamava’s unusual comic book promotion.
