END OF STORY ARC
“1909,” Finale
The bloody conclusion to the story Simon Pure won’t talk about ends in blood. Lots of it. Two immortals—Simon and Benedict Arnold battle to end each other. And we’ll learn first-hand if an immortal can truly die!

Sep 16, 2026I wish I could give this 11/10 but alas, Redcoat #20 is violent, rage fueled, and satisfying all at the same time. It’s cowardly Simon Pure in a way we have never seen him before. Read Full Review

Einstein witnesses this fight and is nearly injured by Benedict, but Simon saves him and moves the fight to a house under construction. There, he throws the axe and Benedict onto concrete foundations, burying them for life.

Although I don't think this was the most exciting or creative issue of Redcoat, it was the necessary follow-up to last issue's tragedy. It'll be interesting to see where Johns and Hitch are taking the character from here.
