Why do my quotation marks look different in docs?
This is occurring because something called “smart quotes” is currently enabled.

Google Docs makes this curling pattern the default setting, but you are able to turn it off if you don’t want it.
When to use underscore, italics, or quotation marks?
These days, underscore often means that a word is ‘hot’ on the computer, and with so much electronic transmission, I would advise against its use for other meanings than that. Instead, employ italics as they were originally meant to be used.

Do you italicize the titles of comic books?

When do you underline or italicize a word?
Italicize punctuation marks immediately following italicized words. When italic type is not available (for example, in a typewriter or handwritten manuscript), underline to indicate italics; if the manuscript is later set in type, the typesetter will use italics for underlined words.
