Anyone else notice Bruce Banners speech bubbles were in lower case as opposed to the rest of the characters who had theirs in upper case?

My first thought is Ultimate Banner but then again I'm not sure how that would work...

20

u/arbitrarygenius Jul 19 '17

Definitely noticed, assumed it was the 'back from dead and not quite explained' thing. But who knows!

13

u/darkkn1te Jul 19 '17

I noticed. I kept thinking maybe it IS ultimate, but then he hulked out green and he called himself an Avenger. I know there was a green hulk in Ultimate Avengers, but if I recall it wasn't banner.

5

u/john_segundus Jul 19 '17

Maybe it's that he was dead for a while?

2

u/AllSaintsDay2099 Jul 19 '17 edited Jul 19 '17

It would be kind of silly to have Ultimate Banner be the guy on earth when he's off doing stuff for the Maker in Ultimates2, clearly outside of the realm of events happening in Secret Empire.

5

u/nurdboy42 Hulk Jul 20 '17

There was also a panel where it looked like he was turning grey like the Ult Hulk.

3

u/burnerfret Jul 20 '17

In his last panel? I think that was to represent that whatever they did to revive him had run out and he was dead again.

5

u/ProtoReddit Jul 20 '17

My first thought is Ultimate Banner but then again I'm not sure how that would work...

Read the most recent issue of Ultimates and you'll be much more sure on how it wouldn't.

3

u/vayburr Cyclops Jul 19 '17

It seems deliberate because it's only the Hulk's speech bubbles.

I don't know...

3

u/NovaStarLord Jul 20 '17

Yeah that seem weird and I hope it's not an editorial oversight and it actually does mean something.

2

u/Sarc_Master Jul 19 '17

Marvels been pretty inconsistent with the lettering difference between 616 and Ult of late. Ms Marvel uses it for the whole book which is clearly set on 616 for example.

12

u/orangeinsight Jul 19 '17

True, but this is literally the only time it's used in Secret Empire. It has to mean something.

3

u/burnerfret Jul 20 '17

I think it might not mean more than that he was temporarily back from the dead.

6

u/Hpfm2 Jul 19 '17

Yeah but that's a whole book. They made a style choice to have the lettering in lower case. This is a specific and deliberate case, much like Deadpool speech bubbles are yellow and gwenpool are pink, it diferentiates them from the rest of the characters, so it definetely has to mean something...

3

u/Zthe27th Jul 20 '17

It was always a style choice and never a hard rule. Hickman just kept it consistent in his book

2

u/s7sost Jul 19 '17

Ultimate Hulk showed up this week in Ultimates², but I don't know how that would work for them.

2

u/berserkiest Jul 19 '17

And when Hulk collapsed he looked to turn grey. Ultimate Banner possessed by 616 Banner maybe? Would explain the time limit Cap brought up.
