I FEEL DOOMED, is 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.

Soup Drunk Princess is a tiny publishing house with a big appetite for illustration, comics, and beautifully strange stories. Its name—an homage to Punch-Drunk Love, Cat Soup, and The Princess Bride—reflects the odd, charming, and slightly surreal spirit that defines every book it creates.
Every generation thinks they’re doomed; these folks just have the receipts. Hurry, before it’s too late—the Kickstarter ends February 28, 2026
Karg sat down with Comic Watch to chat about the anthology and his comics journey:

I Feel Doomed brings together industry professionals and Karg’s students in a single anthology that reflects the shared anxiety of living and creating right now. Climate dread, burnout, political exhaustion, and the pressure to keep functioning all surface here, filtered through humor, collaboration, and comics.
I FEEL DOOMED
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.
Contributors include artists and storytellers whose work spans animation, film, television, and comics, with names like:
- Stephan Franck (The Iron Giant)
- Claudio Acciari (The Prince of Egypt)
- Rustam Hasanov (House of the Dragon)
- Danielle Corsetto (Girls With Slingshots)
- and emerging voices in the industry
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.
