    The Worthy are sometimes shown as speaking in a different language, presumably Asagardian.

    Anybody know what font this is officially called?  
    or is there a translation similar to Superman's Kryptonese?  
     
    i just read Iron Man #506 and I think the book was hinting on how to translate it.

    I believe its Old Norse. Runic Alphabet style. I have a friend that translated some of the words, and they were sort of broken. (like broken English, semi incoherent)

    It looks like Runes to me.

    hey, cool. thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction, everyone. :) 
     
    Following your suggestions, i'm looking up Runes, Old Norse, Runic Alphabet, and Elder Futhark now.  
     
    Unlike Kryptonese, it seems like the translation isn't direct after all.  
     
    The writers are probably using Germanic words on top of the fonts. 
     
    cool effort, if that were the case. :)

    It means:
    Eep-Ork-Oh-Ah-Ah.
      

      
    Or at least, that's what I think I'm seeing every time Attuma screams it...
    maybe I'm just goofy?

    @CATPANEXE: a very good idea, indeed. i can imagine Attuma, Hulk, and The Thing singing this song as a trio. That scene will redefine Fear itself. :D
