GROMMETS #1 Writers: Rick Remender, Brian Posehn Artists: Brett Parson, Moreno Dinisio Letters: Rus Wooton Publisher: Image Comics Release Date: May 29, 2024 Price: $3.99 Score: 4/5 Stars  QUICK REVIEW: 'Grommets' is a delightful trip back to 1984 California when skate culture was at its infancy and new friendships could be formed around it. That's the basic premise and it's lovingly told by Rick Remender and Brian Posehn whose own memories of that time help bring their personal touch to the limited series.

In the back notes, Remender explains that attention to detail they tried to br...
