Reinventing Everything #2

It’s hard to say that this is his most personal work when he’s made a career (in a fair amount of his comics, at least) of laying himself open to the public, but I’m still saying that this is his most personal work. It’s all about his reaction to 9/11 and how it led directly into his decision to have a baby. If that sounds like it doesn’t make sense, check out the sample and the rest of the book. They (James and his wife Amy) talk things over, live it up before they get pregnant and just go over everything involved with having a baby. I wish he would do more mini comics, but his schedule is pretty full with putting out two or three graphic novels every year and his daily comic diary, so it’s hard to bitch too much about a lack of Kochalka. Contact info is all over the place, I guessed $2.50 for the first one, so I’m sticking with it for this one until I hear different…
