From Publishers Weekly
This new anthology highlights both the strengths and weaknesses of a new generation of alternative comics artists. Today's art comics scene seems to offer a variety of unusual, nuanced drawing styles on the one hand, but a lesser variety of wan, hyper-quirky narratives on the other. The comics in this volume can be engaging, but they can also be too opaque for clear meaning or just elegantly aimless. Anders Nilson's genially surreal story "The Beast," in which a faceless cartoon figure roughly drawn on photographs delivers an absurd tale, falls into the later category. So does "Passing Before Life's Very Eyes," Kurt Wolfgang's cartoon meditation on impending death, though its comic intent and lively drawing rescue it from complete oblivion. Gabrielle Bell's "I Feel Nothing," in which diffident girl meets passive-aggressive boy, and "221 Sycamore Ave," John Pham's enigmatic story of an utterly ordinary girl and a boy with an utterly unusual nose, are two of the best examples of thoughtfully rendered artwork combined with an engagingly oddball story. Also of note is Paul Hornschemeier's "Living with Mr. Dangerous," a methodically paced story of individual torpor. Additional work by Jeffrey Brown, Sophie Crumb and Jonathan Bennett add up to a very good selection of new art comics. (Aug)

Trade Paperback. Condition: New. No Jacket. For the new millennium, there is Mome. Designed by acclaimed designer and cartoonist Jordan Crane, this quarterly book will spotlight a regular cast of a dozen of todayâs most exciting cartoonists. Though virtually every cutting-edge literary journal these days has flirted with comics, Mome is the first all-comics literary anthology. Like R. Crumbâs legendary Zap anthology, 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. The first volume of Mome features the following: John Phamâs (Epoxy) â221 Sycamore Streetâ, Paul Hornschemeier (Mother Come Home and Forlorn Funnies) contributes a six-part graphic novella titled âLife with Mr. Dangerous.â, Anders Nilsenâs (Big Questions) âThe Beastâ is a full-color, 12-page absurdist monologue by a single character on the push-and-pull of art and politics, Jeffrey Brown (Clumsy, McSweeneyâs) contributes an autobiographical piece, David Heatley (McSweeneyâs) contributes the first of a series of fictional stories revolving around a cast of characters in a town called âOverpeckâ (also the name of the strip) that follows a bizarre dream logic, Andrice Arp adapts a Japanese fairy tale called âJewels of the Sea.â, Kurt Wolfgang examines death, Gabrielle Bell examines the existentialism of the dot-com boom, Jonathan Bennett dances with the Ventures, and Sophie Crumb (Belly Button Comix) delivers a piece of comics biography. With cartoons by Martin Cendreda. New Graphic Novel. Seller Inventory # 049820
