Completely different markers. I've seen that blue pic of the 03 shocker (ugly, but nice in a strange way) and this pic of the red nerve and they are definitely different markers. The nerve is much nicer, personally i thought it looked angel'ish. Looks very cool...
i think i like it. i would prefer it to look a bit more unique though (looks like mag angel hybrid), the same with the new shocker (looks like the e mag)
