Each day AI pushes further into human life, reinforcing our isolation and reflecting our delusions. Rebel Goose Books is seeking submissions for a science fiction YA graphic novel anthology that explores the darker edges of this artificial intelligence, similar in
style to Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone. Rebel Goose wants sharp, unsettling, emotionally grounded comics that examine how AI is restructuring human identity. Stories could explore the erosion or warping of human qualities such as agency, creativity, and social connection, along with other messy parts of ourselves that should not be optimized. This anthology uses the term
“AI” very broadly, so your story could include people interacting with generative AI programs, chatbots, fully physical robots, virtual reality games, or other technological permutations. Twist endings are strongly encouraged, as are endings with a bittersweet optimism, in which the protagonists find it in themselves to reconnect with their humanity.
The anthology will be accepting story proposals until June 30, 2026. Stories may range from 4 to 20 pages, and will be paid $125 CAD per finished page.
