Remember hope? Yeah… same. It’s time to face reality—with a little dark humor.
Enter I FEEL DOOMED, a new comics anthology that turns generational dread into creative release. Tackling everything from student loans and housing stress to climate anxiety and political exhaustion, the book captures what it feels like to live in a constant state of low-grade apocalypse—through the voices of artists who’ve traded doomscrolling for drawing.
The project is curated by Joseph Karg (Archer, Marvel Snap!, Dear Bernadette) and published through his imprint Soup Drunk Princess, bringing together students and seasoned professionals in a shared creative space. The result is something that feels equal parts anthology, emotional outlet, and late-night group chat about the end of the world—where art becomes a way to keep going when everything feels like it’s falling apart.
Across more than twenty stories, I Feel Doomed dives straight into the collective unease of a generation shaped by chaos. Themes range from creeping authoritarianism and climate fear to isolation, burnout, and the exhausting act of pretending everything’s fine. Each piece reshapes that anxiety into something strange, funny, unsettling, and deeply relatable—a snapshot of a generation coping with collapse through nervous laughter and too much caffeine.
The anthology features an impressive lineup of creators, including 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!, Stargirl), 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, an emerging CalArts storyteller mentored by Karg.
Karg shared his thoughts on 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 started a group chat with Love, Death + Robots—and invited a therapist who’d completely given up—it might look a lot like I Feel Doomed. Perfect for fans of The Silver Coin, Flight, or any anthology that feels like peeking into the shared subconscious of 2025, this is a book that admits what we’re all thinking: we’re just trying to survive a slow-motion apocalypse.
The I Feel Doomed Kickstarter prelaunch page is live now, with behind-the-scenes peeks, finished stories, and animated teasers rolling out via Soup Drunk Princess on Instagram.
Every generation thinks it’s doomed—this one just brought the evidence. Don’t wait too long: the campaign ends March 3, 2026.
