Fantagraphics: What's up with MOME?
Alright, so what's going to be in upcoming issues of MOME? We've got some pretty great surprises lined up, so keep reading. The second issue (FALL 2005, the cover of which is above, on the right) has been printed and will ship next month to distributors. I think it's a stronger issue than the first. The lineup remains the same from the first issue: ANDRICE ARP, GABRIELLE BELL, JONATHAN BENNETT, JEFFREY BROWN, MARTIN CENDREDA, SOPHIE CRUMB, DAVID HEATLEY, PAUL HORNSCHEMEIER, ANDERS NILSEN, JOHN PHAM and KURT WOLFGANG. The issue also features an interview with Gabrielle Bell by my esteemed co-editor, Mr. Gary Groth.
The one difference in the line-up for the second volume from the first is the addition of TIM HENSLEY, one of the most underrated cartoonists of the last decade. Tim's gorgeous linework and brilliant wordplay is always fascinating, and he makes a cameo this time around with two hilarious parody pages. I'm proud to announce that these pages are just a primer for more Hensley to come: beginning in the fifth volume, due late next year, MOME will feature Hensley's longest story he's ever done, a 40 or so-page opus that Hensley is currently hard at work on.

Looks like a solid read just based on the blurb here.
