Published by DC Comics under its mature-readers Vertigo imprint, the first issue was released on March 5, 2008, under the story title \"At a Thousand Miles an Hour\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMarking Lapham's highly anticipated return to a full-color monthly format following his acclaimed crime magnum opus Stray Bullets, the series is a chaotic, genre-bending thriller laced with high-octane hedonism, surrealism, and unreliable narration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Core Premise \u0026amp; Characters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe issue drops readers directly into the gritty, drug-fueled club scene of lower Manhattan, centering on a group of deeply dysfunctional 20-somethings who are all harboring dark secrets:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0in;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eDanny Noonan: The story's central narrator. Danny is a failed guitar player from Texas who moved to New York City seeking rock-and-roll stardom. He is also a pathological, habitual liar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eSadie Dawkins: The central focus of Danny's obsession. Sadie was originally a \"poor little rich girl\" heiress until a traumatic event left a physical bullet permanently lodged in her brain. The injury fundamentally altered her personality, morphing her into a completely unhinged, violent adrenaline seeker who only trusts and listens to Danny.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePlot Summary: At a Thousand Miles an Hour\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe premiere issue unfolds over the course of a single, chaotic night out in New York City. Danny tries to manage the beautiful but increasingly psychotic Sadie as she tears through the underground night scene. In a relentless blur of violence, drugs, and psychological tension, Sadie instigates bar fights, bites off a man's nose, and starts a localized gang war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAs the narrative unravels, the readers are forced to realize that Danny is entirely unreliable as a narrator. The boundaries between reality, hallucinations, and outright lies are entirely blurred, establishing the series' signature theme: trying to figure out what is actually happening versus what the characters are fabricating. The issue ends by teasing a massive, globetrotting conspiracy involving demented billionaires, assassins, and bizarre surreal elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BattleBuddyComics.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203829473380,"sku":"BW210","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/7606\/4868\/files\/IMG_2026_09_19_18_34_43_710.jpg?v=1789860947","url":"https:\/\/battlebuddycomics.com\/products\/young-liars-1-2008-vf-nm","provider":"BattleBuddyComics.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
