Immortal British Redcoat Simon Pure has been alive over 100 years... and he's still a lousy shot. Enter Annie Oakley, the most famous sharpshooter of the Wild West! She always hits the bullseye... especially the one in Simon's heart. Is it love or death at first sight? With Simon, we always bet on death first.
Redcoat #10 continues to keep Simon's adventures fun and exciting and the audience on the edge of their seats. His journey through time has us ready to see whom he crosses paths with next; all the while, there is a larger story being told ending with a bit of a cliff-hanger. Redcoat continues to be one of my favorite comics out at the moment! Read Full Review
Redcoat 10 introduces a new ally for Simon along with one final teaser for Simon's encounter with The Northerner. This has been one of the easiest series to get into in years. The creative team truly gets all the potential and isn't lacking for the number of ways to tap into Simon Pure's very fallible though endearing nature. Read Full Review
After ruminating on the role chance plays in his life, an accident helps Simon Pure meet Annie Oakley. Redcoat #10 reminds us how Simon's childhood shaped him and helps us better understand why, two years later, he will try so hard to keep his distance from thirteen-year-old Albert Einstein.

REDCOAT #10 regales readers with the first meeting between Simon Pure and Annie Oakley during an especially low point in the immortal's life. Geoff Johns's script is a wild tale about sharpshooting adventure, but some readers may be put off by Simon Pure's endless "woe is me routine. Nobody wants to pay money to attend a pity party.

Plot
Ghost Machine and Redcoat celebrate a surprising and exciting anniversary with this installment!
May many more years to come!
In 1890, Simon was escaping from a group of gunmen he had tricked in a card game. Although he managed to escape on a train, due to his absent-mindedness and trust, he fell into the Missouri River with no money.
Upon reaching the nearest town, he finds himself in a shooting competition where he could win money and thus quench his eternal hunger and thirst, the consequences of his immortality.
The competition is with Annie Oakley, who is very skilled with weapons and a phenomenal shooter. In Simon, she finds a worthy opponent, as Simon, after more than a hundred years of more
even though this was directionless. The dialogue and art still works and I like the thought processes. Geoff Johns has been growing on me based on his non-DC content
I like Redcoat. This issue is no exception. Love the adventures through history.
Getting a bit directionless. But still fun.
