At last, a "Cloverfield" update that explicitly involves squid.
Seems that there's a manga tie-in to the movie, a short Japanese comic that gives a bit of backstory that won't be in the film. It's all in Japanese, crosscutting between some apprehensive young folks in Japan and a flotilla of ships at sea, which are hauling in...something. You can view the whole thing online. Just remember that manga read back to front.
Attached is the first page of the manga. The squid doesn't like what's coming up. The last page is weirdly creepy.

ps: Remember how the "Animatrix" anime tie-in to the second and third "Matrix" films was far better than either of those films? I hope this manga doesn't present us with a similar scenario.
