"Redcoat mixes history and the unknown for a tantalizing start." AIPT
Immortal. Mercenary. Kind of a tool. Meet Simon Pure, the newest UNNAMED hero, created by comic all-stars Geoff Johns and Bryan Hitch, now collected in a deluxe hardcover edition featuring exclusive extras.
A British soldier and all-around rogue, Pures led quite an exciting life. Or lives, really. After a failed assassination of General George Washington at the Battle of Trenton in 1776, Simon stumbled upon hooded figures performing a bizarre ritual that accidentally gave him immortality.
Since that fateful day, Simon has died and returned countless times over, rubbing elbows (and sometimes fists) with historys most renowned figures, including his nemesis Benedict Arnold, Albert Einstein, real-life serial killers the Bloody Benders, American icon Johnny Appleseed, Wild West sharpshooter Annie Oakley, and many more. But none of those encounters prepare him for The Northernera mysterious time-traveler who needs Simons help to prevent the Confederacy from winning the Civil War. That is, if the two can find a way to work together instead of killing one another.
This volume closes out with a trip to Washington, D.C., as Simon encounters a haunting in the White House in a prelude to the FIRST GHOST miniseries.
Collects Redcoat #1-14 and includes behind-the-scenes, in-progress art and commentary from the creative team.
