Synopsis

A literary anthology...with a twist. Since its inception in 2005, MOME has bridged the gap between the contemporary graphic novel scene and the current cutting-edge literary scene, serving as a perfect sampler of today's best young graphic novelists in a quarterly format that sits as handsomely on the newsstand alongside journals like McSweeney's and Paris Review as it does in the graphic novels section.

Review:

“The array of new looks and styles make the indie realm look more vibrant than it has in a while.”
- The Onion A.V. Club

“MOME has been a haven for readers seeking out new and exciting storytelling within the comics medium.”
- Chris Beckett, The Pulse

“One of the most substantial MOME publications yet.”
- Anita Kinney, The Daily Vanguard

“The quarterly anthology serves as a good showcase of the sorts of things Fantagraphics do best, from art comics to disgusting gag strips.”
- Megatonik

“MOME has definitely shown itself to be the premier journal of innovative comic art currently being published.”
- Jeff Hall, Library Thing

“The current multi-artist series that has critics in the comics world and outside of it regularly amped.... The last few issues of MOME have really hit a hot-run of quality, and though some stories are more straightforward and others are expressionistic, all the art is always sweet.”
- Chris Estey, KEXP-FM, Seatte
