UGO saw some footage from the movie and came up with a new synopsis:

When an alien ship lands on Earth, and no human weapons can save us, the government calls in their secret weapon. Locked away, some for decades, are the monsters we remember from the Godzilla era. A giant woman, a monstrous bug, (who is merely teething...on skyscrapers) a brilliant doctor who, in his attempt to give humans the relatively long life span of a cockroach, gives himself a bug head, and a blob named B.O.B., who is the result of a genetically altered tomato and a ranch-flavored desert topping gone wrong.

After the amazing Wall-E, it seems like we're in for a deluge of horrendous animated scifi movies about bugs and chimps. But Monsters Vs. Aliens could actually be an exception, thanks to an awesome supply of giant monsterness.

Only four Rex Havoc stories ever appeared in the pages of Warren Presents and three of those were collected in issue #14 from November 1981. Their team emblem consisted of a boot-print superimposed on a pair of buttocks, and Rex had his own fight song he would sing as the team marched into battle:

"We are the ass-kickers of the fantastic,
Let monsters all beware.
Three guys and a lass...
We kick ass...
In French we kick...derriére!"

In the Dreamworks film, aliens have disrupted cable television service on Earth, so the team of "monsters" heads off to do battle, hoping that they can restore Bravo's programming to viewers around the globe. However, based on the cast list below, we're not sure if the team still includes Rex, which makes us sad. What's a team of ass-kickers without their captain?

Rainn Wilson - the evil alien Gallaxhar
Hugh Laurie - Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.
Seth Rogen - the jellylike B.O.B.
Will Arnett - the half-ape, half-fish Missing Link
Kiefer Sutherland - General W.R. Monger
Stephen Colbert - The President
Reese Witherspoon - Ginormica
