Saturday Internet Morning Runaround – Watchmen Leaked, Tyrese Plugged, Dinosaur Planet And The Rick And Steve Show

Happy Rebellious Stepchild Nation Day to you all…

So what's happening in and around comics then?

Well, some celebrate Independence Day with fireworks, some with all-night parties, some with illegally downloading Watchmen: The Director's Cut which has, Wolverine style, just been leaked onto the internet as a torrent file, three weeks ahead of San Diego Comic Con screening and DVD/Blu Ray/Nite Owl Ship release.

Kevin O'Neill, League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen co-creator talks about his tidy home to The Times…

And Tyrese Gibson knows a good twitterfeed to follow…

From the creator of Alan Moore Standing In Corner of My Store, MJ Hibbert, the trailer for his Edinburgh Comedy Festival Show, Dinosaur Planet.
