    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Aug 30, 2024

    The definition that Dinisio puts into the colors really draws Grommets out of the authenticity. Its kind of disorienting. So often period dramas from the 20th century feel the need to throw a wink and a nod to contemporary audiences about the quaintness of an earlier time. Remender and Posehn do a really good job of keeping it all grounded in the reality of 1985. The story isnt wearing the era like a costume...it really DOES feel totally ensconced in it...and much of the drama thats in the issue could easily be placed in any other era. Thats quite an accomplishment given how often these things tend to devolve into campy nostalgia. Read Full Review
