A Young Liars Chronology

After someone on David Lapham's forum pointed out that issue #13 of Young Liars was set in the near future, I finally decided to undertake a project that I'd been considering for a long time: a complete chronological catalogue of the events in Young Liars, using the dates provided in the narration boxes.

You can gaze upon the spreadsheet here. There are, of course, spoilers.

Comics Cotillion: Young Liars #13

Writer, Artist, and Cover: David Lapham; Colors: Lee Loughridge; Letters: Jared K Fletcher

What’s a comics cotillion? Look here for the answer.

Danny Noonan might be the unluckiest protagonist of any comic book currently on the stands. Since Young Liars began, he’s set himself on fire, been castrated by a midget, and beheaded by the girl of his dreams.  Or, at least that’s what he’s telling us. The problem with Danny, of course, is that he’s a liar, and he’s certainly not above changing a detail of his past to evoke pity or horror from us, or to cast himself as the hero or the villain of his story. 

Spoilers, as always, after the jump:
