It's the future and Skynet has killed the majority of mankind. A fifty-something John Connor and his group are still trying to defeat Skynet, which has a personal grudge. It wants to destroy all humans. Some are captured and introduced to a new type of Terminator, which looks like a woman. She kills them all in a few seconds. However, the majority of Terminators we see at the beginning of the book are completely different looking than any in the movies or other comic series. They resemble Cylons more than anything, which I thought interesting.
John decides to strike at Skynet's headquarters at Thunder Mountain but it's a race against time since all the Hunter-Killers have been equipped with nuclear warheads, to finish the job. It's here that they have to battle a legion of the flesh-covered Terminators.
This graphic novel is what TERMINATOR SALVATION should have been more like, darker and more angst ridden. TERMINATOR: THE BURNING EARTH is definitely one of the better TERMINATOR publications.
