I have looked at it three times already, the artwork gives me chills. :)

I thought the same thing!
Its not Alex Ross, but the art so far looks great :hope:

The art does look great! Was that robot looking thing one of Harada's medbots? It had the same general shape if I'm remembering correctly.

In all seriousness though, I don't think the reporter gal is supposed to be Erica and I hope it's not. That would be a very radical departure from previous character and if this Unity isn't about the same stuff as the original Unity, then there's no GOOD reason to have an Erica Pierce in it IMHO.

Yes... it does look like one version of her. I'm sure I could find some other background nobodies that also look like some former 90's Valiant character that hasn't been seen again yet. I'm just saying there's no logical reason for it TO BE Erica.

I think she looks more like Tricia Takanawa from Family Guy... who IS a reporter. :P

Yeah, I think we're jumping the gun a bit on this being Erica. Sorry, fellas.

Braithwaite's art looks top notch, as usual.

The fact that it looks like her and it's Unity kinda makes you wonder but I suppose it could be a total diversion of a preview (But I doubt it).

I didn't think the look made her look like Erica but that line at the end about energy..that made me wonder. But I do not think it is Erica.

Guys, this is TOTALLY Erica Pierce. Have you ever seen that one movie where Morgan Freeman is God but all he ever does is wear a janitor uniform and mop the floor? Same thing.

I'm glad you asked this question. I read the preview 3 times trying to find whatever it was I was missing.

I didn't think, "Erica!" when I saw her, but it could be an interesting way to reintroduce the character.

Perhaps PRS dumped some unstable nanites into the sewers, when 4 baby turtles waded through them. Ninjak vs Shredder ... the fight we've all been waiting to see!

Imagine the possibilities! :lol:
