Sky Shadow. It is a mysterious name, and has an even more mysterious origin in the world of Tribes: The Dog Years, the new full color series from Soulcraft Comics.
For a tribe of hunters, the idea of being the hunted was almost an alien concept. Yet for LightningRider, the first Chief and founder of the Sky Shadow mythos, his strength in escaping the deadly claws of a great “night cat” was enough to transform the hunted, the scattered and the powerless into a culture of survival.
The totem LightningRider salvaged gave the Sky Shadows their identity. The mark of the first Chief is carried grimly by hunter and warrior alike as the small band of courageous tribespeople makes their way through a troubled history.
The symbol of the Sky Shadow is a herald to the other scattered remnants of humanity. On the night LightningRider survived, he and his people became the Sky Shadows.

Whatever their plans, the Headhunters have a considerable advantage over their rivals in the blighted North American wilderness of Tribes: The Dog Years, the new color comic book series from Soulcraft Comics.
They have chosen an advantageous location for their camp, and as a result they have direct access to large supplies of both industrial metal. It is the latter material that literally gives them the edge. For reasons unknown, untreated metal corrodes and breaks down very easily in the aftermath of the nano-viral plague, and therefore many tribes find themselves unable to maintain their strongest weapons.
The Headhunters, however, use dense industrial glass for some of their weapon edges, and this material seems immune to whatever is destroying the metal. This is one of the many “advances” the Headhunters have been able to make even though most of their neighboring tribes had initially dismissed them as wandering animals and incapable of forming a serious threat.
But they are advancing and learning at an alarming rate, and if their ascendancy continues, the world of Tribes will be forced to deal with them eventually.
Tribes: The Dog Years is coming soon to Soulcraftcomics.com!

When a nano-virus accidentally shortens the HUMAN LIFESPAN to TWENTY-ONE YEARS, all hell - as one would imagine - breaks loose and civilization falls into a deep decline. Chaos engulfs populations centers and all semblance of civil society collapses. What’s left, after the last afflicted “adults” die off, are scattered groups of kids and teenagers. They slowly start to reorganize and eventually, over a hundred years after the “plague” hit, there are now packs, clans, groups, even TRIBES, which have formed around unifying mythologies. Human culture is reestablished, mini-societies, fragile, hopeful and desperate to survive, hang on for dear life. Welcome to the world of TRIBES: THE DOG YEARS from SoulCraftComics.com.
