By the way, what incarnation of Rodan do they use? I sincerely hope it's not the Heisei/Fire Rodan version...

I always want to see 56 Rodan, but since this is IDW my money is on Trendmaster's Rodan...

Storywise the first issue was alright. There is a little bit of humor but otherwise they're just trying to establish the setting. Godzilla only makes a brief appearance but it could be interesting however I did not like the art style at all. It looked more like scribbles than actual art I cared to see. There were a couple panels that looked kind of cool. One was a shot of Godzilla and the other was a shot of King Ghidorah otherwise I was not really impressed.

I dig the setup and plot so far. The interiors are a mixed bag. The humans are expressive, which I like but the monsters are inconsistent and sometimes look a little unfinished... Like Ghidorah's feet, which are bizarre when present and even more bizarrely absent from a number of panels

It seems kaiju are just hard for some artists to crack, you know? I like this artist's style overall, and like keen said, the humans are nicely expressive, but in some spots he seems to really struggle with the monsters.

Wow, people were not kidding, Kiryu/MG3/Fred/whatever really does look bad :

I brought the issue and I has to post that I like it. The story is interesting and Godzilla only appear in one panel. I hope that the rest of the mini-series is just as good.

Real talk? I kind of dug it. It's a real odd story, but I like the idea of Godzilla keeping things in check and killing off other monsters before they can grow giant. And yeah, the art is okay, but not horrible. I really liked this panel:
