Inhaltsangabe:

2008 found MOME on MANY year-end critics' lists, increasing academic and library interest, several gallery exhibitions mounted nationwide, and an increasingly potent well of top-notch, known and unknown talent, making every issue a surprising, dense and delightful read. With this season, the quarterly journal of comics will have brought over 2,000 pages of new comics to the world since its inception in 2005.

Upcoming contributors of short stories to MOME include: Dash Shaw, Lilli Carré, Al Columbia, Jonathan Bennett, Laura Park, Émile Bravo, Olivier Schrauwen, Tom Kaczynski, Ray Fenwick, Andrice Arp, Eleanor Davis, Nathan Neal, Conor O'Keefe, Jon Vermilyea, Robert Goodin, Sara Edward-Corbett, Derek Van Gieson, and many more.

As three serials ended in 2009, two more launch: T. Edward Bak's biography of German naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller is certain to eventually become one of the most acclaimed graphic novels of the decade. Ted Stearn's cult favorite characters (Matt Groening declares them “why I love comics”) now grace MOME with a new, serialized adventure in which the hapless Fuzz & Pluck discover a literal money tree. The ensuing entanglement of intrigue and desire is a surrealist, picaresque tour de force of comics storytelling with strong thematic ties to America's housing and financial meltdown, and the dreams that led to it. There's also a pirate, and we all know that pirates sell.
