Redcoat #15

Redcoat #15 slows down the story and allows a moment of bliss for our beloved anti-hero, Simon. It's an issue full of joy and hope and overdue reunions with a very important cliff-hanger on the final page. This is the comic I needed this week. Read Full Review

Redcoat 15 is a stage setting issue, but with this drastic change to Simons status quo, its a compelling read as it seems like this happiness cant possibly last. Until then, its a refreshing shift from Simons usual chaotic misadventures. Read Full Review

The authenticity and the genuineness of the emotion feels infectious. Anyone with a modern view of history is going to know that there were people who are suffering like you would not believe just outside of the center of the panel. But that's not really where the center of the story lies. This is a story of heroes of history. And so it's going to have more of a heroic note to it. It's going to sanitize things just a little bit. And that's perfectly OK because it's totally consistent with what they're bringing to the page. It's just almost a little too nice to feel totally comfortable. Read Full Review

REDCOAT #15 trades glory for aprons smartly enough to snag your shelf space amid the stack, but only if you bet on the slow stitch paying off in bloodier threads ahead. It earns the spot for folks chasing history's bite with family glue, yet skips the must-buy crown until the past claws deeper than a bedtime story. Read Full Review

Plot Simon Pure lives as a tailor's assistant in 1909. He now calls himself Simon Plum and has left behind his adventures in his red coat and nights of revelry and drinking. Although his immortality remains a constant, it's a secret from his family, because Simon has settled down. He has a wife named Margaret, a daughter named May, and a son named Albert. His life is routine and peaceful, finally what Simon sought. However, he worries about his continued immortality and wants to try to fix it before time betrays him. At Simon's door, none other than his friend Albert Einstein, now older and with a mustache, knocks. Albert is surprised by Simon's family life, but he's come to deliver bad news... the terrible Benedict Albert, the other immortal who is part of the Founding Fathers cult, has returned. This new story arc brings back Simon's nemesis, who nearly stripped him of his immortality and destroyed the nation (Read Volume 1), maintaining this intriguing narrative that blends real historical events and important figures with a kind of conspiratorial magical realism. Artwork Bryan Hitch delivers his cinematic vision, directing mesmerizing action sequences and capturing the details and tones of each bygone era. The colors create the perfect atmosphere that transports you to the early 20th century. His masterful use of scale is mesmerizing; he transports and shakes you with striking, realistic visions in a very cinematic format. Summary Simon settles down upon reaching the 20th century, but his immortality and adventures are difficult secrets to keep when a terrible enemy returns. more

This was a feel-good issue. Just an enjoyable little slice of life intro to Simon's "happy" phase. I enjoyed this one a lot.

Not much is going on, but at the same time a lot going on. A lot of set up. And damn, this is the calm before the storm. Looking forward to the next issue.

Not the most exciting issue of Redcoat, but definitely a twist I didn't expect.

It's only a good issue if you've read everything up to this point.
