The Ghost Machine universe is heating up and Image Comics is pleased to present your first look at Ghost Machine’s next issue of the critically acclaimed, Redcoat, by Geoff Johns, Bryan Hitch, Andrew Currie, Brad Anderson, and Rob Leigh.
Following the red-hot, sold out success of Redcoat #1, issue #2 picks up with Simon Pure hunted by a bloodthirsty cult. The immortal mercenary discovers his powers may have its limits and the former British soldier must accept help from a 12-year-old genius named Albert Einstein.
Redcoat has quickly become a critical darling, heralded across the industry:
“Hitch is doing some of his best career work here.” —ComicBook.com
“Redcoat #1 is a fun romp through early American history featuring one of the least qualified heroes in all of comics. It’s got some great character moments and lays the foundation for an interesting setting with some good world building and solid art.” —Multiversity Comics
“If you’re a fan of historical fiction…this story is up your alley.” —Comical Opinions
“Grab it before it’s gone.” —Impulse Gamer
“Redcoat #1 is a fast-paced joyride” —AIPT
“There is a sense of wonder in this book that makes it an absolute joy to read, and I can’t wait to explore more of this world.” —ComicsOnline
“The future looks very bright so far” —Geeks World Wide
“Comics need more original stories and this one has all the makings of a classic.” —Nerd Initiative
