If the world of alt-comics feels appealing but intimidatingly vast (what doesn t these days), MOME is the perfect place to start.... The volume is thick, slick and printed in what looks like Technicolor. An anthology is only as good as the sensibilities of those who compile it, of course, so it s worth noting that a subscription of MOME equals four issues per year of work culled from the depths by an outfit that not only has keen vision in such matters, but also a stake in finding the very best. What s not to trust? --Molly Young"
It must be said, of all the art comix anthologies, MOME is probably the most perfect distillation. Sometimes evolution works. --Heidi MacDonald ""The Beat" ""
[L]ike the rest of Fantagraphics spectacular catalogue of books, MOME takes some of the most exciting talent around in comics at the moment (both Paul Hornschemeier and Dash Shaw feature in this volume [Vol. 15], for example), adds some raw talent that you might not have heard of, and collates it into a cutting-edge anthology. An excellent taster in bite-sized portions for those who want to experiment with a range of sophisticated comics artists without breaking the bank. "
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"
For fresh talent in comics, you have to go to the anthologies and there's none better at the moment than MOME... the highlight [of Vol. 15] is Dash Shaw's hallucinatory story about a tidal wave, which uses swaths of colour and elongated panels to create a sense of vertigo. --Roger Sabin"
Since its inception in 2005, Mome has overlapped the contemporary graphic novel scene, the literary world, and the graphic arts community by serving as a McSweeney's of comics for those who want a vibrant, quarterly sampler of the best the medium has to offer. Whether exposing new talent like Eleanor Davis (author of the recent Stinky by Toon Books) or Tom Kaczynski; featuring short stories by contemporary graphic novelists like Dash Shaw (The Bottomless Belly Button) or Paul Hornschemeier (The Three Paradoxes); bringing the work of international superstars like David B. (Epileptic) or Killoffer (676 Apparitions of Killoffer) to American audiences; or introducing the work of legends like Gilbert Shelton (The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers) to a new generation of readers, Mome is the most acclaimed, accessible, frequent, and reasonably priced anthology on the market despite its high production values and mostly color format.
