The Anguirus pic is from a pretty weird angle, but the design looks fine. As for the the shobjin pic - we'll see how it is handled for the actual comic since cover art is not necessarily indicative of the rest of the comic.

While I'm not really bothered by the potential change to the fairies (have to wait & see WHAT's actually changed, & how it's executed before I can really decide how I feel about it...), I WOULD argue that they do have an iconic look established.
While the individual specifics of their costumes might change, they've always (as far as I can remember) been depicted in native islander dress. That is their iconic look. To depict them in something that's not clearly islander/native clothing is certainly changing from their established iconic appearance.

Indeed, the changes to the faeries are pretty significant. They're obviously not 18 inches tall anymore, aren't dressed in island garb, and are most likely French. Big changes, I agree.
However, is that such a bad thing? Do we really want to see every element of the Godzilla franchise copy and pasted into comic pages? I'd personally like to see some risk-taking and variety AS LONG AS IT WORKS. I think this approach to the faeries could be interesting, but it obviously has potential to be disastrous (as any deviation from the established norm generally does).
I'm looking forward to seeing more experimentation in this comic. Good or bad, at least they're trying to exercise some creativity...
