Loving this Rick Remender run after seeing issue two of the series featured on key, comic collectors keys of the week. Two outcast best friends navigate the Sacramento suburbs of 1984, where they find a home in skateboard culture and punk rock. Grommets is both an authentic look at ’80s skate culture—a snapshot of the generation that turned skating into a worldwide phenomenon—as well as a heartfelt coming-of-age story following two friends from troubled homes navigating their damage in an era when no one cared.
Finished issue number one. Great start to it looks like is going to be a perfect series. I love the references to the 80s. The music, the stores the attitude - it’s perfect. The final panels introduce our female protagonists who I believe make the cover of issue 2.
