The story is somewhat hard to follow. There are a far too many characters to keep tabs on. This wouldn't have been a problem had it been a "regular" graphic novel, but making it an illustrated novel somehow made it a little hard to follow at times. It also made it a little hard to "vizualize" the characters... even with the nice full-page artwork. Otherwise, the story is solid as far as Aliens stories are concerned, although it did seem a little too "easy" to kill them (as in the 2nd movie)... w...
About as kitsch as you can get in terms of a classic Alien experience, but well portrayed, fast-paced and overall just good fun. The illustrations are a great bonus too.

It's not a comic book, it's a short story.And fitting the format, it's got a limited cast, about 9 characters, 7 of which are part of a special "cleanup" team who specialize in locating and dismant...
fantastic.
I remember this being really hard to find when I was a kid. I started getting into the Aliens comics around '93 or '94 and by then this thing was probably sold out in my area. I don't think I got a copy of this until years later when I found it for sale online. I was pretty excited to get it because if the cover was any indication of what I'd find inside I was ready for it!All that being said Tribes was not exactly what I had expected, but it was good nonetheless. This really isn't a graphic nov...
Didn't realise this was actually an illustrated novel. Thought it was another comic. Was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was very well written.4 out of 5 stars.
