BURNING FIELDS #1

 WHY WE LOVE IT: After the critical acclaim of Curse, we couldn't wait to work with Michael Moreci, Tim Daniel, Colin Lorimer, and Riley Rossmo again-and just as they reinvented the werewolf tale, their modern take on military horror got under our skin.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: The team that brought you one of the best-reviewed comics of 2014 returns in 2015 to create a new horror tale unlike any other. A geopolitical drama with monster mythos, Burning Fields is a story for both fans of Zero Dark Thirty and The Thing, as the writers of Roche Limit and Enormous explore the evil that lurks when greed drives one to drill too deep into the unknown.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Dana Atkinson, a dishonourably discharged army investigator, is pulled back to the Middle East when a group of American oil technicians disappear under bizarre circumstances. With the help of an Iraqi investigator, what Dana discovers is unimaginable: a series of unusual incidents at the drill site lead her and her unlikely ally to discover a mythic evil that has been released, one that threatens both the lives of the entire region and the fragile peace that exists.
