  • Cracksman Betty -- "Packing a rum punch... a lighthearted romp through their roots... the most dangerous place on earth for the League of Justice for the Fortunate Few" -- Diamond Island

  • Dick Tracy Must Die -- "the newest CD by Crime And The Forces Of Evil: Purity and edge; technical prowess and a kick-ass attitude... this disc will light a fire under you! Check it out!" -- Heather Dale

  • "[My Boyfriend] is brilliant and awesome. The super-shiny kind of brilliant that has to be shared with as many people as it can be..." -- Gleek, at And Now I'll Do't
