Millennials, Gen Z, and the Artists Who Raised Them Confront Late-Stage Everything in One Unflinchingly Honest Collection
Remember hope? Yeah, us neither. Enough is enough.
Announcing I FEEL DOOMED, a darkly humorous comics anthology that turns generational collapse into creative catharsis. From student debt and housing crises to climate dread and political burnout, it’s a portrait of life in perpetual freefall—told through the eyes of artists who’ve decided to stop doomscrolling and start drawing instead.
Curated by Joseph Karg (Archer, Marvel Snap!, Dear Bernadette) and published under his imprint Soup Drunk Princess, the book blurs the line between classroom and creative rebellion. Karg brings his students and industry pros into one shared space to figure out how to keep creating while everything burns. It’s part anthology, part art therapy, part group text about the end of the world.
Across more than twenty stories, the anthology dives headfirst into the collective anxiety of a generation raised on chaos. From fascism and climate dread to isolation, burnout, and the quiet panic of pretending to be fine, each story transforms shared unease into something darkly funny, surreal, and uncomfortably true—a generational self-portrait painted in nervous laughter and caffeine.
Featuring work from Claudio Acciari (The Prince of Egypt, The Road to El Dorado), Jonathan Edwards (Mufasa, Warner Bros), Rustam Hasanov (Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon), Chris Bivins (Marvel Snap!, Star-Girl), Danielle Corsetto (Girls With Slingshots), Dustin Harbin (Koyama Press, Dinos That Drive), Adam Ford (Rick and Morty, Star Trek: Lower Decks), Jake Reeves (Titmouse, Royal Crackers), and Claire Seckler, a rising Cal Arts storyteller under Karg’s mentorship.
Joseph Karg spoke of the project:
“We all process our feelings in profoundly different ways. Some of us laugh in the face of despair, others draw, write, build, or hide. But no one escapes the need to make sense of a world that feels like it’s slipping apart. This project is a collection of short stories and images that don’t deny that feeling; they hold it up to the light. I hope that, as readers move through these vignettes of doom, they’ll recognize parts of themselves in the hopeful, absurd, or darkly funny moments that surface between the cracks. Doom itself is universal, but how we all respond to it is deeply personal—
A little less than a century ago, 70 million people died across Europe, Russia, and Asia. Faced with unimaginable grief, humanity turned to the only tool that could hold that weight: Art. We painted, wrote novels and poems, drew comics, made movies, and even animated cartoons about silly rabbits fighting the same wars we were. Art is how we process the unprocessable. It helps us turn chaos into story, pain into meaning. I Feel Doomed is part of that same impulse—to face what’s breaking in the world and, through creativity, remind ourselves that beauty and resilience still exist.”
If Black Mirror had a group chat with Love Death + Robots and a therapist who’d clearly given up, it would look a lot like I Feel Doomed. For fans of Silver Coin, Flight, or any anthology that feels like scrolling through the collective subconscious of 2025, this is the book that finally admits we’re all just doing our best in a slow-motion apocalypse.
I Feel Doomed Kickstarter is now live. Follow Soup Drunk Princess on Instagram for early looks at the animated teaser, finished stories, and existentially soothing behind-the-scenes chaos.
Every generation thinks they’re doomed; these folks just have the receipts. Hurry, before it’s too late—the Kickstarter ends March 3, 2026.
