review 1: Holy shit, this is some seriously violent reading. Kind of sucks that Lapham's chosen to start a brand new series instead of finishing off the brilliance that was STRAY BULLETS. Inferior in every way to STRAY BULLETS, but worth a read. Lapham's art suffers from a poor coloring job by DC (and shitty paper). I prefer his work in black and white anyway, so... eh. Still, YOUNG LIARS is just gonzo crazy enough for me to want to see what's next.
review 2: This series RULES. It is bizarre and psychotic and utterly jam-packed with action and craziness. Our main players are Danny, who is the narrator and is kind of wimpishly in love with, in awe of, guilty over, and slightly creepy about the other main character, Sadie. Sadie rocks the house. She has at some point l... moreost pretty much all social skills and become a girl who is living purely for her own entertainment at every moment. She used to be somewhat normal, but due to an unfortunate accident (that Danny blames himself for), she has just gone into overdrive. She has a blast dancing, fighting, rocking out; she barely sleeps any more because she has so much energy. A mysterious group of people sent by her father seem to be trying to track her down - and you get the feeling they are definitely NOT good people. Danny shoots somebody trying to protect her, and the two of them and their whole gang of friends end up fleeing to Europe to escape the bad guys and the consequences. And madness ensues there, too. Including the dismemberment of someone's gential areas. It's graphic; there's a lot of drugs and sex and violence; it is totally rock-and-roll. The fascinating thing about the book is that the deeper you get into it, the more you see where the series gets its name - all of the main characters are indeed young liars. It's a fascinating series with great art, and I recommend it to anyone up for a relentlessly balls-to-the-wall good time. less
