Burning Fields has been one hell of a ride, and although it may be over, that doesn't mean that we can't enjoy these final moments. Having thrilling action and emotional interactions, the creative team give us a climax that is more than befitting the narrative that came before it, with the conclusion itself being rather somber.

All in all, "Burning Fields" #8 is an immensely satisfying conclusion. For a series that married serious political writing with intense character study as well as a blend of hard military action and Eldritch horror, one would imagine that it would be a series full of tonal dissonances. Instead, the creative team of Moreci, Daniel, Lorimer and Lafuente blended all of these elements together for a series that, while it still wore its inspirations on its sleeves, felt wholly unique in its own right. "Burning Fields" was intense, violent, emotionally complex and often brilliant thanks to writers who really delved deep into the world they created and artists who infused that world with an amazing sense of atmosphere in character. This was a miniseries that, honestly, everyone should have read. Read Full Review

We need more comic books like this that will try and ask important questions, particularly about terrorism, war, and corporate greed. They're not easy topics to delve into and they take a lot of work on the part of the writer. Unfortunately for us though, we're facing an awful lot of Asags in the real world, and we need to be thinking about them. Here's to the next outing by this team. Read Full Review

That this comic is over is definitely a bummer. Its leads made the entire comic something I looked forward to each month, but more than that the comic creators were definitely all on the top of their game with this one. In a field that more often than not lauds the auteur comic creator (one that writes, illustrates, colors and letters), it's great to be able to recommend a work that instead shows how the collaborative process can lead to something the individuals couldn't pull off on their own. Maybe Burning Fields would have still been a good comic had it subbed out one of its team for someone else, but for once that's definitely not a alternate universe I'd like to visit.

Burning Fields won't change your life and it won't blow your mind but what it will do is thoroughly entertain and engage. There really aren't a lot of stories to enjoy in the subgenre of horror action and even fewer in the realm of quasi-Lovecraftian contemporary horror so Burning Fields already has a very unique wrinkle to it. It's still a little disappointing that it's basically just a fun, pulpy horror story about investigators fighting extra-dimensional demons in Iraq but the comic we have is the comic we have and it's a pretty fun comic, recommended.
