“The cast is in place, the mystery is bubbling and bodies are piling up. This has the makings of a solid thriller, easy on the exposition and heavy on the uncomfortable moments.” - CBR

“This is an impressive first issue that hits the ground running with blood-curdling imagery.” - Horror Talk

 

“Simply put, Burning Fields looks all-but-guaranteed to become yet another creator owned success from the fine folks at BOOM! Studios, and is a series I honestly can't recommend highly enough.” - Big Comic Page

 

“Burning Fields could have been a great political thriller or a gory horror story or a dark police procedural. Instead it chose to be all of them and thank goodness it did.” - Geeks with Wives

 

“Burning Fields is a great book to pick up for those interested in a gritty, horror story that will pull you in right off the hop.” - Capeless Crusader
