Since its inception in 2005, Mome has bridged the gap between the contemporary graphic novel scene and the current cutting-edge literary scene, serving as a perfect sampler of today's young graphic novelists in a quarterly format that sits as handsomely on the shelves alongside journals like McSweeney's and the Paris Review as it does in the graphic novel section. Volume 11 welcomes Killoffer, the exciting French cartoonist, as well as newcomer Jonn Vermilyea.
