SKATEBOARDING GRAPHIC NOVEL 'GROMMETS' HITS SHELVES THIS JULY04/23/25 @ 9:59 am EST
Source: Image Comics | Categories: Image Comics | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentBreakout bestseller
Grommets by Eisner Award nominated and
The New York Times bestselling writer Rick Remender (
Napalm Lullaby, Deadly Class, LOW), Emmy award nominated comedian and writer Brian Posehn (
Deadpool, The Mandalorian, Scotch McTiernan: Holiday Party), artistic powerhouse Brett Parson (
Tank Girl), and colorist extraordinaire Moreno Dinisio (
Black Science) will be collected in its entirety into trade paperback and available this July from Image Comics.
Since the series first launched in 2024,
Grommets has gone on to sell out at the distributor level and gone back to print multiple times. Sales for the series have increased from issue-to-issue as the story has gained momentum.
In
Grommets, two outcast best friends navigate the Sacramento suburbs of 1984, where they find a home in skateboard culture and punk rock. The perfect read for fans of John Hughes' Brat Pack teen movies,
Freaks & Geeks, and
Dazed & Confused.
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.
The series’ title springs from skater slang, a “grommet” is a commonly used term for a young up-and-coming skater or surfer. Since the ’60s it’s been used to describe the next generation of kids who, with youthful exuberance, love the sport but want to put their spin on it.
“To share such a raw part of ourselves with the world and have it received so warmly—it’s truly the most any creator can hope for," said Remender. “At Giant Generator, we let creativity and love guide our choices, because that’s the only way to connect on a sincere level. And when it does, it’s a beautiful thing.”
Grommets trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534366480, Lunar Code 0125IM460) will collect
Grommets issues #1-7, the complete series, and be available at local
comic book shops on Wednesday, June 25 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, July 8.
Grommets is also available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Google Play, and Omnibus.

Sony today unveiled the first trailer for
I Know What You Did Last Summer, the sequel relaunching the horror franchise of the same name, which hits theaters on July 18.
For fans of the first three films, the plot here is familiar.

As one by one the friends are stalked by a killer, they discover that this has happened before, and turn to two survivors of the legendary Southport Massacre of 1997 for help.
Original cast members Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt are back, even if it’s unclear which other prior members of this horror universe might pop up. Franchise newcomers include Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, Billy Campbell, Gabbriette Bechtel, Austin Nichols, Lola Tung, and Nicholas Alexander Chavez.
