The jagged shell of a technological society looms over a dilapidated landscape in the world of Tribes: The Dog Years, the new color comic book series from SoulCraft Comics.
Seattle and its environs have been particularly hard hit, as the combination of neglect and relentless inclemency have rendered a ghoulish cityscape where once stood one of the most beautiful urban areas in the world.
The questions that have not been answered are the most troubling. Rain and wind and even snow could not have pulverized the city’s buildings, yet there are no signs of what did it. Could a war have preceded the miseries of the Sky Shadows and others? If so, could that conflict still threaten Sundog and his comrades?
As dire as such danger might be, Sundog and Fallingstar cannot turn aside from their quest. An answer must be found to their affliction, or the human race may never be restored to its full stature. The buildings of these once mighty cities inspire our intrepid young hunter, Sundog. Though he may never live to see such wonders, his courage may yet lead his descendents to one day build new cities upon these ruins and return humanity to its old glory.

For a visitor to the land of the Sky Shadows, it might be fair, even accurate, to refer to thousands of edifices such as this oil rig as ghosts.
It was not necessarily the loss of technology and its benefits that led to the current state of humanity, and it wasn’t even necessarily the advent of the nano-virus that plagues people like Sundog, Fallingstar and Rockjumper in Tribes: The Dog Years, the new color comic book series from Soulcraft Comics. It was the speed with which human civilization, once deprived of various technologies, collapsed.
Freed from its conflict with short-term industry, the environment, both plants and animals, reasserted itself with a vengeance. It is through this haunted landscape that Dr. Irving Adams must lead a desperate expedition to locate and activate a machine so small that it can hide behind an amoeba. It may be the last surviving remnant of human scientific advancement, and for the sake of the Sky Shadows and Dr. Adams, they hope it is not a ghost.

For a people reeling from the loss of one civilization, building a new culture has its own challenges. Of all the scattered bands of humanity in North America, the Sky Shadow Tribe of the Pacific Northwest may be one of the few that is succeeding.
The Sky Shadow village is an obvious target for the maurading Headhunters that compete with Sundog, Fallingstar and Rockjumper for the resources of their home. Despite their plight, the Sky Shadows either believe or expect redemption, as everything about their tribe is a symbol of fearful survival.

From the days of their first Chief, LightningRider, who brought the tribe their founding myth, the Sky Shadows have been led by Chiefs who earn their station by their lineage. They rule over a village “empire” with each stage of life having its own house. Because of their limited years and the virtual certainty of their lifespan, the Sky Shadows are obsessed with time. In their village are such structures as the “mothering tent” where children are taught to walk and speak, and the “Chief’s Hut” where a trinity of “elders” including the Chief, the Medicine Man and the First Warrior meet to discuss tribal business. There is also a “Death House,” which serves as a primitive hospital and shrine.
Stay tuned for TRIBES: THE DOG YEARS, a new color comic book, coming soon on Soulcraftcomics.com.

How would life change for the average person if they knew for a fact they would not survive to see their children grow up, or see their grandchildren at all? This is the key dilemma for the Sky Shadow tribe in general and Fallingstar in particular in Tribes: The Dog Years, the new color comic book series from Soulcraft Comics.

According to the Sky Shadows’ meager knowledge of their lands’ other inhabitants, the Headhunters are scattered and enigmatic, little more than feral pests, savage scavengers. Recently, though, unbeknownst to the Sky Shadows, things have changed. A chief has arisen from the motley rabble. And with this new leadership a new tribe is born.
Is it possible the leadership of this Chief has given the Headhunters a path to a civilization of their own - a civilization to be built from the wreckage of conquered and pulverized tribes?

The Headhunters seem to be in the midst of deploying a sophisticated multi-layered plan to decimate their rivals. They are able to do this because of the clever mind of their Chief, who rules from a throne built from spare parts left behind by a carnival.
A madman and his fun house - in this case, no laughing matter, for the Headhunters show no mercy and no remorse but live only for the cannibalization of other tribes. These marauders now have a base camp from which to launch their attacks and in which they commemorate their victories. Have they met their match in the Sky Shadows?

A bizarre complex of amusement park relics scattered around a mountain of discarded metal that may have once been a junkyard. It is here that the rivals of the Sky Shadows base themselves.
To someone who recognizes an amusement park for what it is, the Headhunters choice of raw materials for their village would be profoundly ironic, yet to the bands of people who survive, they are nightmarish and frightening. Their Chief rules from a throne marked “House of Horrors” and decorated with a massive evil clown’s face. Their weapons appear to be cobbled together from spare parts taken from carnival rides. The twisting path to their camp is marked with skulls on posts.
It is not known if the Headhunters purposefully chose an abandoned amusement park because they understood its significance. What Sundog realizes is that the Headhunters have changed - they are more organized and travel in larger packs, a sure sign they have evolved from scavengers and pests to something more sinister, more dangerous.
What are the Headhunters plans?
