Animal Pound

In Animal Pound (2025–present, Boom! Studios), writer Tom King and artist Peter Gross reimagine George Orwell’s Animal Farm as a darkly satirical comic-book fable, where a society of captive animals rises against their human keepers in a modern, media-saturated world. The series, launching in 2025, explores themes of power, propaganda, and revolution through the lens of anthropomorphic animal characters, with Gross’s detailed, moody artwork grounding the allegory in a gritty, contemporary setting. As a fresh take on a classic dystopian narrative, it matters for its sharp political commentary and the creative pedigree of its acclaimed team.
