TOO MANY POOLS! How many PetPools does it take to collect a comic? Find out in this oversized, fan-favorite, once-in-a-lifetime, Tony Award-winning, DOGgone, CATastrophic, MOUSE… somethingorother comic book, collecting EVERY SINGLE INSTALLMENT EVER of the Dogpool, Catpool, Mousepool and Dogpool Team-Up infinity comics. What’s that? You want more?! Well, it’s your lucky day, because we’ve also thrown in a brand-new, never-before-seen PetPool holiday instant classic that we created just for this printing. Why? Because you $@&%ing deserve it.
Petpool: Pool Party #1 is definitely worth the $6.99 cover price for a quick laugh, what you get is a full-on comic adventure with a pack of quirky, crime-fighting pets. This collection brings together Dogpool, Catpool, Mousepool, and even a team-up you didn’t know you wanted until now. The whole thing feels like a playful celebration of comic chaos, with just enough silliness to keep you grinning from start to finish.
The art by Enid Balám hits that perfect sweet spot—expressive without being over-the-top, making every furry antic land just right. The lack of heavy dialogue works because these animals communicate through action, not words. It’s like being dropped into a Saturday morning cartoon where logic takes a backseat to fun.
Sure, this could’ve been just a Dogpool one-shot, but I’m glad they went all in with the whole gang. Plus, they tossed in a brand-new holiday story because, well, why not? You can tell the creators had a blast making this, and that energy jumps off every page.
Petpool: Pool Party #1 is available on our new comic book wall.
