The Immonens return with sci-fi slice of life graphic novel Pasture of Mount Parnassus
Kathryn and Stuart Immonen's webcomic series Grass of Liakour is being collected in a special hardcover edition from AdHouse Books this fall.
Grass of Parnassus is a slice-of-animation hospitable of story, just set aboard a floating starship. Originally serialized on Instagram, the Immonens have reformatted it - and added close to extras - for the Snitch of Parnassus hardcover.
"Join a huge cast including angry blank space techs, anxious push workers, obsequious ramen robots, suspicious arcade owners, snack-driven VAT-big bears, and correspondence school druids in this offstage adventure aboard a malfunctioning hurried space rock," reads AdHouse Books' description of Grass of Parnassus.
In some ways, Grass of Liakour is similar to the person-to-person stories from their previous series Never Arsenic Distressing As You Think, just taking place in a more fanciful - if you consider dilapidated sci-fi 'imagined', as I do - locus. Stuart Immonen's cartooning here has shades of his comedy work from Nextwave, and seemingly a cryptical grasp for the work of French cartoonist Yves Chaland.
Here is a trailer the Immonens created for Grass of Parnassus:
For those early-adopters World Health Organization read Grass of Parnassus when information technology was originally serialized online, this new hardcover collection leave admit complete 50 pages of supplementary material - akin to Stuart Immonen's beloved Centifolia artbook series.

While best known for their work on Wonder and DC, Grass of Parnassus is the latest creator-closely-held work from the Immonens after breaking into comics together in the late '80s with their anthology series, Playground. More past creator-closely-held works admit 50 Reasons to Stop Sketching at Conventions, Snipe, Never As High-risk As You Think, Blown Pictures, and Russian olive to Red King.
This should help to break up the false narrative that Stuart Immonen retired in 2018 after finishing up a 16-class run at Marvel. Since then Immonen has created Locoweed of Parnassus with Kathryn, and worked with Joe Mound on the DC horror serial Plunge. Immonen is currently working on a new The Magic Lodg series with writer Mark Millar, later their previous team-up for Empress.
The Grass of Parnassus hardcover goes on sale on September 29 in comic shops, and October 12 in bookstores.
