Quote Reviews

The premier journal of innovative comic art currently being published.
For fresh talent in comics, you have to go to the anthologies and there s none better at themoment than Mome. --Roger Sabin
Mome helps me stay on top of the coolest cartoonists in the industry. --Whitney Matheson ""Pop Candy" "
Mome may be the best contemporary survey of the current graphic scene If you have peepers, you should take em out and use em. --Thurston Moore and Byron Coley
[I]ndependent of any scene or wave or vibe or goal beyond publishing a lot of interesting short new comics, Mome soldiered on. That s the hill it died on, and this is a fine flag to plant on its grave. --Sean T. Collins
Over the course of six years and (just now) twenty-two issues, Mome has been a consistently ambitious and important anthology --Charles Hatfield
The final edition of Mome leaves a vacuum that thus far has always managed to get filled ...it will always be a shame to file something this sharply curated in the shelf. [T]here s a terrific streak of humour throughout all adding up to an end that s perfectly fitting, but no less unfortunate. --David Berry
Mome 22 concludes the run of one of alt-comics' longest-running and most essential anthologies. Like Weirdo before it, Mome bridged the gap between veteran cartoonists and the new breed. --Noel Murray
