When danger knocks for Cormac, it's not his own life he worries about. The tension of the story doesn't come from simple monsters, but from the heartfelt bonds each parent has with their children. IDW Publishing announced that Grasscutter, the storyline considered to be the seminal tale in Stan Sakais Usagi Yojimbo comic book series, is now available. Cormac and three other bored parents begin to peek into those secrets, discovering horrors that no living soul should have to witness during school hours. Sakai also an Eisner Award for Best Letterer, and Usagi Yojimbo won an Eisner Award for Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo: Grasscutter Artist Select, which collected some of the best Usagi Yojimbo tales. The setting of Scarenthood is a typical Ireland suburb where work-at-home dad Cormac has enrolled his daughter Scooper in a Montessori preschool that was set up, without a hint of superstitious caution, in the rooms of an abandoned church hall.
