Grommets gets a double sell-out and heads back to print

 Issue #1 and #4 of the breakout bestseller Grommets by The New York Times bestselling writer Rick Remender, fan-favorite comedian and writer Brian Posehn, artistic powerhouse Brett Parson, and colorist extraordinaire Moreno Dinisio are both being rushed back to print this week in order to keep up with demand.

Both reprints will feature new cover art by Parson—but hawk-eyed fans will spot that the art on Grommets #1, fifth printing will connect back to the Grommets #1, second printing artwork.

In Grommets #4, Rick’s dad bestows adolescent world-ending news that ignites a fight with Brian, leaving him feeling angry, alone, and unheard—just as their movie night with friends and girls begins, but party-crashing high school animals BYOB and blow their plans to bits.

Grommets takes readers on the ’80s-infused journey of a young Rick who starts a new school and tries desperately to find his place amongst the cliques of foul-mouthed high schoolers of the Sacramento suburbs. Skateboarding provides him with an opportunity to make some ‘cool’ new friends—but he soon finds out that they may not be as ‘cool’ as he (or they!) first thought.

Perfect for fans of Freaks & Geeks and Dazed and ConfusedGrommets is at once an authentic look at punk rock and skater culture and a snapshot of the generation that turned skating into a worldwide phenomenon. It’s a heartfelt story that follows two friends from troubled homes as they navigate their damage in an era when no one cared.
