    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your heroes return to discuss <em>Redcoat</em>!</p><p>&quot;British soldier and all-around rogue Simon Pure has led quite an exciting life. Or lives, really. After a failed assassination of General George Washington at the Battle of Trenton in 1776, Simon stumbled upon hooded figures performing a bizarre ritual that accidentally gave him immortality.<br/><br/>Since that fateful day, Simon has died and returned countless times over, rubbing elbows (and sometimes fists) with history’s most renowned figures, including his nemesis Benedict Arnold, Albert Einstein, and many more. But what are the true origins and extent of Simon’s power, and the clandestine cabal behind them? And how does this group intend to use him to destroy America? Simon means to find out, even if it finally kills him!&quot;</p><p>In this episode we chat about the comic, why we love lore, and discuss our founding fathers. As always you&apos;ll hear us cover the History of the Creators, Favorite Lines, The Art Awards, and Adaptation Alley. </p><p><em>Redcoat</em> is written by Geoff Johns, art by Bryan Hitch, colored by Brad Anderson, lettered by Rob Leigh, and published by Image Comics.</p><p>Follow <em>ComiClub</em> on Instagram <a href='https://www.instagram.com/comiclubpodcast/'>@ComiClubPodcast</a>.</p><p><em>ComiClub</em> is hosted by <a href='https://twitter.com/blainemcgaff'>Blaine McGaffigan</a> and <a href='https://www.instagram.com/dangeradam/'>Adam Cook</a>. </p>]]></content:encoded>
