MOME Vol. 18 Reviews

  • StrictlySequential

    Took the "weird" angle to enthusiastically.

  • Bob Comparda

    Some weird ones in this issue. Lilli Carré's is my favorite by far followed by Jon Adam and the collaboration of Jones, Santoro and Vermilyea.

  • Andrew

    This gets an automatic 1-star review for featuring a comic co-written by fascist and future gang leader and Roger Stone enabler Gavin McInnes. I guess McInnes still had some lingering hipster cred back in 2010, but Groth and Reynolds still should have known better.

    That said, there's some good work here, particularly by Ted Stearn and Renee French.



  • Tom

    Always good to see new works by Lille Carré and Renée French, but Nate Neal's "The Neurotic Nexus of Creation" is recycled social commentary complete with "false consciousness" by other means, and T. Edward Bak's "Wild Man" just meanders, neither narratively nor pictorally compelling.

  • Ryan

    Highlights in this volume include Nate Neal's Neurotic Nexus of Creation, Dumped by Ivan Brun, a long overdue Pip and Norton by Cooper, and an installment of Fuzz and Pluck. Was not a huge fan of Nicholos Mahler or Conor O'Keefe (this one just isn't in the right format, the text is unreadable).
