But does he have a GameShark?

The Hero Intern Story

It's a Friday night: you could go see a movie with your girlfriend, but Spiderman 5 won't be out for a while, so what's the point? Besides - did you say girlfriend? That's as foreign a concept to you as NOT keeping up with the current season of Battlestar Gallactica. No, it's a big world out there: it might be for the best that you don't propagate. At least no one will have to inherit your asthma! It may be hard to swallow that you're actually doing your species a favor by sitting there listening to Dragonforce while wearing out your Wii wand, but as the saying goes, "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility."

If you feel any kinship to the sentiments above, then the Hero Intern might just be the flag you pledge allegiance to. Read all about the meteroic rise of this nintendo-addled nobody through the Kaiju Intern program, his ignoble fall from Internship glory, and his recent revival in the brand new bio, Hello Hero Intern.

Tentacle Boulder in Hentai Scandal

In a press conference this week, Kaiju's newest Hero Steam-Powered Tentacle Boulder categorically denied rumors of being involved with any display of tentacles in a lewd or lascivious manner. This statement is in direct response to rumors that SPTB is depicted in the graphic 1820 Hokusai woodcut, "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife." Tentacle Boulder, in pleading his innocence, stressed the fact that while boulders can and do live for hundreds of years, he is of a sedimentary stone, whereas much of Japan's mainland rock formations are more igneous in nature. Boulder also urged the media to not be so narrow-minded in their tentacle perception; that there are many tentacles from many different species, and lumping all tentacles into one category is careless and prejudicial.

Kaiju at Anime Boston and A.P.E.

The weekend of April 21-22 will be a busy one for Kaiju Big Battel. Kaiju will be represented in full force at cons on opposite American coasts. On the Eastern side of the country, Louden Noxious and other Kaiju luminaries will be hosting panels, signing autographs, ogling cosplayers, and generally having a good time at Anime Boston. On the West Coast, Kaiju representatives will simultaneously be brining the Big Battel to the Alternative Press Expo (A.P.E.) in San Francisco.

At both events, the Kaiju booth will feature a brand new con-exclusive Kaiju 2007 Super Deform print by Vinnie Arnone featuring the entire Kaiju roster!

Contest Winner

The winner of the Faction Slogan Contest is Carl Volker from Warwick RI. Carl secured the victory with his apt Team Space Bug slogan, "Where's the Juice?" Carl, your goodies are in the mail. For those who still want to win big, please keep your eyes peeled on Kaiju.com for the upcoming PETA-sponsored Kaiju fan contest which will feature a sock puppet, a 200 gallon fish tank filled with fun balls, and one angry, freshly scorched king cobra!

Bizarro Kaiju?

The Kaiju Regulatory Commission, in conjunction with timologists from C.A.S.I.O. (Chronaton Anomaly Surveillance and Inspection Organization) are heading a research study to see if there was any residual damage caused by the "Avalon Time Slip" this past February. With the arrival/untimely death of the American Beetle clone from another dimension last month, questions linger in the air as to whether this escapade will be the last of these awkward doppelganger incidents?

Team Space Bug Domain Squatted

In the latest case of Cybersquatting, Team Space Bug has lost one of their web domains (teamspace.com to a shadowy company of unscrupulous groupware system peddlers. Team Space Bug's ownership of the domain recently lapsed, when Uchu Chu stopped checking his email while undergoing physical rehab, and missed his thrice-daily "renew your domain now!" messages. Before this incident, Team Space had used the site for general synergyzing of intergalactic domination paradigms, and to process extortion payments from corporations such as BMW, Philips, and BP who wished to avoid having their factories and office buildings become alien landing site craters. Since taking over the site just a few days ago, the new owners have apparently been able to convert these "involuntary supporters" of Team Space Bug into clients of their groupware services. Team Space bug has retained J. Lo's lawyers and is currently investigating their legal and city-crushing options.

KRC Investigates Beantown Kaiju Reports

The Kaiju Regulatory Commission has launched a full scale investigation into rumors of a new Kaiju presence in Boston Massachusetts. In a recent article in bi-monthly foodie 'zine, the Boston Globe, local chef Hiro San of Fugakyu, commented on the arrival of a mysterious man named Mr. Matsuzaka. The chef reportedly created a new maki roll that looks like a sea monster, because "Mr. Matsuzaka is known as 'Kaiju'." Other witnesses have reported that Mr. Matsuzaka throws fire balls from his hands and controls a mysterious chi-like force known only as the "gyro ball." A team of Kaiju Heroes has been dispatched to investigate.

Custody... Fighto!

In a startling turn of events, Dr. Cube has filed for court custody over Baby Sky Deviler. Dr. Cube, the original holder of the now infamous Sky Deviler Egg, as well as the eggs hatcher, feels he has a legal claim on the baby, stating, "I'm the only family it's ever known!" With the newly born Deviler presently in the care of Kaiju World Champion Kung-Fu Chicken Noodle, it is difficult to gauge whether Dr. Cube's claims will be acknowledged in a court of law. Even if Cube was able to win a judgement, it is doubtful that Chicken Noodle will be willing to relinquish the baby. Uchu Chu, who many see as the rightful custodian of the Space Bug baby, was not available for comment at the time of this report - apparently he is still recovering from his injuries suffered at recent Big Battel.
