Fake Rebellion

In the near-future world of Fake Rebellion (2024–present, Alien Books), a group of disillusioned creatives discovers that their entire counterculture movement has been secretly manufactured by the very system they fight against. This two-issue series, written and drawn by a team of emerging talents, explores the uneasy line between authentic protest and commodified dissent in a hyper-mediated age. A sharp, compact meditation on rebellion in the era of branding, it matters for its timely interrogation of how even our most sincere acts of resistance can be co-opted.
