PositiveComics Bookcase...while Moms is not directly autobiographical, it carries the authentic observations of an autobiographical comic, particularly in the stripped-down and quotidian presentation ... The sexuality of older women is often ignored, but Moms details the gossip and romance of Soyeon and her friends – even if ‘romance’ is a generous term ... Moms weaves some humor around these pathetic observations, but on the level of a familiar chuckle at the absurdity of such struggles. Yeong-shin’s artwork is simple and blocky, rendering the figures dowdy with some moments of heightened expression. It parallels the occasional outbursts normally stuck within aging bodies and poor situations ... Moms\' greatest strengths are also its weaknesses ... a mundane and unflinching portrayal of those who often go unconsidered.
