I'm editing a YA graphic novel science fiction anthology for Rebel Goose that is currently looking for submissions. Each day AI pushes further into human life, reshaping how we think, create, and relate to one another. Our anthology will explore the darker edges of this artificial intelligence, in a style similar to such works as "Black Mirror," "The Twilight Zone, and "Love Death + Robots."

We want sharp, unsettling, emotionally grounded comics that examine how AI is restructuring human identity, warping fundamental aspects of ourselves. This anthology uses the term “AI” very broadly, so your story could include generative AI programs, chatbots, physical robots, virtual reality games, or other technological permutations.

We will be accepting story proposals until June 30, 2026. Comics may range from 4 to 20 pages, and will be paid $125 CAD per finished page.
