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
“A dizzying and fascinating array of visual styles.... when everything comes together just so (especially in issues 12 and this issue), then MOME becomes a crucial component in understanding alt-comics as they stand today.” (Rob Clough - High-Low )
“[Mome] Volume 14 is the best issue yet. About half of the contributors are new to the anthology, and their work—especially 'The Carnival,' Lilli Carré's bizarre, wistful story of damaged love at a state fair, and Spanish cartoonists Hernán Miyoga and Juaco Vizuete's noir about corruption and fame, 'The New Servant'—is skillful, funny, and possessed of a confident literary quality that many cartoonists, try as they might, can never achieve.” (Paul Constant - The Stranger )
“The latest in this anthology series... is what you need to give your really smart adult friends who are starting to enjoy sequential art but don't want to begrime themselves with the whole superheroics rigmarole: Because this is an excellent collection of work (comprising the serious, the funny, the weird, the contemplative, the goofy, and other flavors sublime or ridiculous) by a variety of new artists and old... Give this MOME to someone you love; they'll be queuing up to buy the next iteration.” (Wayne Alan Brenner - The Austin Chronicle )
“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 )
