Slightly. I think it's more like Hulk can recognize some words in print. Reading is an intellectual skill, and that is not Hulk's strong suit, although he gets some carryover from Bruce.
>> Bruce reads up a storm (researcher) but he and Hulk have significant differences in their other skillsets, including ones strongly based in physical capacity. <<
That's true.
>> Those change too, though (Bruce wears glasses, Hulk seems to have very precise vision without them, as a very minor example) but it's not necessarily -seeing- the symbols, but -understanding- them. <<
I think that Hulk's vision is better. His symbol recognition is good for stylized things, but probably less good for abstracts.
