Customer Reviews

Laphams best wrok so far

Young Liars is another awesome book by David Lapham, who is easily one the the most talented writer/artists working in comics today. Lapham has a real knack for wrapping the incredible and unbelievable together with characters that remind you of people you know. His take is always fresh, fast moving, and engrossing. He's one of only two or three creators I've read that have never let me down when I buy something solely because they're associated with it!

Jaw-droppingly Excellent

Without hyperbole, this is the best, most consistently surprising, and unpredictable monthly comic I've ever read. There's literally nothing like it being created in the U.S. comics industry. Getting five issues for 10 dollars is borderline unfair, given the quality of the art and writing. Buy three copies.

THIS IS THE BEST BOOK ON THE MARKET!

This book is an outstandingly absurd, fun, violent and shocking. This will be one of the most original books that has come out since X-Statix.

The next great Vertigo book

It's like a fever dream of mentally disturbed people with terrible ethics and the filthy bloody hijinks they get themselves into. It really gives you the feeling anything could happen because so far it has. Probably the first book since Preacher to really shock and be funny at the same time. Can't go wrong with 6 issues for $9.99!

Best new series in years

This is a book about morally ireprehensible people doing terrible things to one another with nothing but the shadiest of motives in mind. There isn't a single "likable" character in the book, yet you'll find yourself compelled to keep reading to see what happens next. Each issue ratchets up the tension & absurdity to the next level, so much so that even when you think the book has peaked, Lapham finds a way to outdo himself. I'd compare this to the work of Bret Easton Ellis in terms of tone & content, so if that's your thing than swoop this up. I had picked up the trade based on the enthusiastic recommendation of some other readers & have to say it's probably the smartest purchase I've made in months. Highly recommended.
