On Twitter on August 6th, Donny Cates shared an experience he had at his local coffee shop in Austin, Texas. While working on his latest comic project - which is titled HULK - Lou Ferrigno walked in. Fans will recognize the bodybuilder turned actor for his exceptional work as the titular character of The Incredible Hulk which debuted in 1977 and ran until 1982. This is what Cates had to say about the experience:

Sometimes truth IS stranger than fiction, as the odds of the actual Hulk walking into a coffee shop while a renowned comic writer is working on the Hulk's latest adventure, are rather slim. After all, they had to be in the same city and choose to go to the exact same business during the same hours - which coincidentally lines up at a time when Cates is working on a series he was only recently announced as being attached to. In June, Marvel announced that Donny Cates and Al Ewing would be switching series, with Ewing (whose run on The Immortal Hulk is wrapping up) taking on a Venom series, while Cates (whose run on Venom is similarly coming to an end) will work on HULK.

Lou Ferrigno was the first actor to portray Hulk on film, as the pilots were produced as a 1977 movie titled, The Incredible Hulk before the series debuted in 1978. This show made a lot of changes to the character, making him a seven-foot man, which allowed for more practical effects. The use of CGI in modern interpretations of the Hulk has been a subject of criticism by Ferrigno, who took his physique very seriously for the role. Regardless of the character's film portrayal today, Lou Ferrigno will always be remembered as the first on-screen Hulk, and one of the best actors in the role. Bumping into the original Hulk so casually and being able to show him the latest comic work on the character - is unbelievable, yet absolutely incredible.

Marvel's HULK from the team of Donny Cates, Ryan Ottley, and Frank Martin is slated for release sometime in November 2021.
