Every "period" in modern comics history has had its anthology that tapped into the zeitgeist and foreshadowed a new "generation" of cartoonists (Zap in the '60s; Arcade in the '70s; RAW and Weirdo in the '80s, etc.). For the new millennium, there is Mome. This quarterly book will spotlight a regular cast of a dozen of today's most exciting cartoonists. Mome features the same collective of artists every issue, allowing the artists and audience to grow together and build an ongoing identity that is highly unusual for the world of contemporary comics. They are: John Pham (Epoxy), Paul Hornschemeier (Mother, Come Home and Forlorn Funnies), Anders Nilsen (Big Questions), Jeffrey Brown (Clumsy, McSweeney's), David Heatley (McSweeney's, Deadpan), Andrice Arp (Hi-Horse), Kurt Wolfgang (Non, Where Hats Go), Gabrielle Bell (When I'm Old, Scheherazade), Jonathan Bennett (Esoteric Tales), Sophie Crumb (Belly Button Comix), and Martin Cendreda (Dang!). This annual subscription gets you 4 volumes, released quarterly. When checking out, please indicate which volume you would like your subscription to begin with.
"MOME helps me stay on top of the coolest cartoonists in the industry... Each issue also includes an insightful interview; it's well worth the subscription." – USA Today Pop Candy
"If the world of alt-comics feels appealing but intimidatingly vast (what doesn’t these days), Mome is the perfect place to start. ... 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, We Love You So
