In a world where every moment can become content, what happens when the spotlight isn’t a choice? Maverick has announced I Didn’t Ask For This, a bold and deeply empathetic YA graphic novel from Jennie Wood, recipient of a Next Generation Indie Book Award, and Josh Cornillon, a GLAAD Award winner. With colors by Michael Wiggam and letters by Charles Pritchett, this timely release blends social awareness with heartfelt coming-of-age storytelling to deliver a moving, fiercely relevant story about reclaiming identity in an age of oversharing.

If your entire life was online against your will—if everyone knew about your potty training, your first breakup, and even your coming out story—how would you feel? I Didn’t Ask For This follows the members of Not Your Baby Anymore, a group of kids who share one thing in common: their parents are social media influencers who have shared their entire lives online. The group forms a chosen family as each member struggles with how to break away from a life and fame that they didn’t ask for and do not want.

I Didn’t Ask For This is available wherever books are sold on April 14, 2026, and in comic shops on April 15, 2026.
