BONUS REVIEW by Sean H.
 So, the easiest way to describe Redcoat is that in this universe, the Founding Fathers were actually wizards, and a magical mix-up led to British conscript and born coward Simon Pure, the titular Redcoat, becoming an immortal assassin-for-hire who gets dragged kicking and screaming through the secret history of the United States. I’m going to be honest, even if I had no idea who the creators of this book were, I’d still have picked it up for that premise alone. There are some ideas that are just too good to pass up, and this first issue showcases why this is one of them. The writing is strong and witty, and the artwork deserves special mention since Bryan Hitch shows that it’s never too late for an artist in a slump to show they’ve still got it, which he most definitely does. If you're a fan of his older stuff, you're going to be pleased with this one. While it’s in the same universe as Geiger, it’s once again not one of those things where you need to read other books to get what’s going on. This is a standalone tale and fans of Hellblazer, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the many indie works of Jonathan Hickman (especially Manhattan Projects and Black Monday Murders) will probably want to give it a go. I give it 10 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
