( ) Another interesting volume of Mome - as always, the contents are a mixed bag, but overall Mome continues to impress with the sheer variety of contents and the healthy mix of new and established creators. This time around, the contributions by Laura Park, Olivier Schrauwen, Lilli Carre, and Jon Vermilyea rise to the level of the extraordinary, while Dash Shaw and Conor O'Keefe provide considerable interest. The only big disappointment is Gilbert Shelton and Pic's "Last Gig in Shnagrlig", which is the very definition of make-work. Any way you slice it, there are more good bits than bad, which makes the latest issue of Mome a fine experience for any reader with a love of the comics art form. no reviews | add a review
Belongs to SeriesMOME (14)
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. Vols. 13 & 14 of the popular series welcome the return of renowned graphic novelist David B. (Epileptic, Babel) as well as returning regulars Jonathan Bennett, Sophie Crumb, Andrice Arp, Paul Hornschemeier, Kurt Wolfgang, Eleanor Davis, Zak Sally, Tom Kaczynski, Dash Shaw, Joe Kimball, and Ray Fenwick. Tim Hensley also returns with more of his brilliant "Wally Gropius" strips, as does fan favorite Al Columbia! Plus, several other surprises from some of the best new talent in comics. MOME is an accessible, reasonably priced quarterly running approximately 120 pages per volume, mostly in color, and spotlighting the most exciting new storytellers in comics along with special surprises. MOME is quickly earning a reputation as one of the premier literary anthologies on the shelves, and the only one composed almost entirely of comics. No library descriptions found. |
