Redcoat created by Geoff Johns and Bryan Hitch

Redcoat is a new comic book series from writer Geoff Johns and artist Bryan Hitch.  The series is part of the “Ghost Machine” shared creator-owned universe, and Redcoat is one of the group of mysterious, secret heroes known as “The Unnamed.”

Redcoat #1 opens in 1775.  Paul Revere is announcing the coming of the Redcoats when some Redcoats (British Army) set upon him.  He is saved by John Hancock who uses some of the “magicks” of the “Founding Fathers” that he possesses.

This brings us to the story of Simon Pure, a Redcoat, who isn't much of a soldier.  By his own admission, he is a coward, cheater, absconder, and deserter.  He isn't a virtuous soul who will face insurmountable odds with conviction, courage and honor.  Still, his lousiness is why he has a fated meeting with the founding fathers, and that leads to the curse of his immortality.

He can't die, but he's broke and hungry all the time.  Still, over a century after he met his magickal destiny, Simon finds himself caught between mysterious, dark forces and one of the world's most famous geniuses – as a boy.

THE LOWDOWN:  I was able to procure a PDF review copy of Redcoat #1.  Thus, I decided to review it for you, dear readers.

I didn't expect much from it.  After all, to of DC Comics' twenty-first century stalwart writers, Geoff Johns and Scott Snyder, have consistently delivered underwhelming creator-owned comic book series or at least, mediocre individual issues of their creator-owned titles.

I didn't expect much, but I got a little more than I expected.  Is that enough to keep me reading past this first issue?  Read on.

Early on, Johns was laying an egg with this first issue of Redcoat, but it picks up at about the halfway point.  Honestly, its late improvement isn't enough to get me to come back for more Simon Pure.  Pure is a type – the hapless hero who falls into a great event because that's what the writer wants.  We're supposed to see ourselves in him as well follow him to greatness or to at least the winning side.  Truthfully, Simon Pure is the same kind of white guy I've been reading and watching in fiction for decades, and at this point in time, I'm not as willing to follow him as I was decades ago.

The main reason I gave this first issue a try is because I'm a big fan of Bryan Hitch's work on comic books like The Authority and The Ultimates, but Redcoat #1 is generic Bryan Hitch.  I don't see any reason to come back for more of that.  But Brad Anderson's colors are quite spiffy.

Yeah, there's something here.  Maybe, it will get better, but I, for one, don't have the time to suffer average work from a “superstar creative team.”

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Geoff Johns and Bryan Hitch will want to check out Red Coat... maybe.

CINEMACON - From THRParamount revealed footage from "Gladiator 2," the sequel to the 2000 "Best Picture" Oscar winner, "Gladiator," at CinemaCon 2024.  Reports suggest that the footage from the film, which is directed by Ridley Scott, director of the first film, left the audience very entertained.

CANNES - From Deadline:  Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis" will premiere in competition at Cannes 2024 on May 17th.

The one-year “in person batterers” intervention program will be in Los Angeles, where Majors is based.

BOX OFFICE - From BoxOfficePro:  The winner of the 4/5 to 4/7/2024 weekend box office is Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment's "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" with an estimated take of 31.7 million dollars.

From Here:  Leroy Douresseaux reviews "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire."

MOVIES - From Deadline:  58 years after making his debut feature ("What's Up, Tiger Lily"), Woody Allen is sitting “on the fence” about whether his latest movie, "Coup de Chance," his 50th feature, will be his last cinematic outing.  "The romance of filmmaking is gone," Allen says.

STAGE - From Deadline:  The Jamie Lloyd Company has announced that its upcoming West End production of Romeo & Juliet, headlined by Sony/Marvel "Spider-Man" star, Tom Holland, will head to Broadway after its 12-week London run.  Juliet will be played by Francesca Amewudah-Rivers, who is making her West End debut.

MOVIES - From Deadline:  In a deal worth $500,000 against $1.5 million, Legendary Entertainment has optioned Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen‘s nonfiction book, "Nuclear War: A Scenario."  Legendary plans to use the film adaptation potential reteam with director Denis Villeneuve, who has directed the "Dune" films for Legendary and Warner Bros.  The expectation is that Villeneuve would work on this film after he finishes his third "Dune" film, "Dune: Messiah," which would be the final part of the "Dune" trilogy.

OBITS:

From Deadline:  American screenwriter and director and documentary filmmaker, Eleanor Coppola, has died at the age of 87, Friday, April 12, 2024.  Coppola is best known for her 1991 documentary film, "Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse," for which she won two Emmy Awards.  Eleanor was married to legendary film director Francis Ford Coppola from 1963 to her passing.  They had three children: the late Gian-Carlo Coppola (1963-86), and filmmakers Sofia Coppola and Roman Coppola.

From ESPN:  Former NFL player, actor, and broadcaster, O.J. Simpson, has died at the age of 76, Wednesday, April 10, 2024.  Simpson was the 1968 Heisman Trophy winner at USC, and he was a member of the 1967 USC "National Championship" team that finished No. 1 in the AP and Coaches Polls.  He was the No. 1 pick in the 1969 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. When he retired in 1969, he was 2nd on the NFL's all-time rushing list.  After football, Simpson had an active two-and-a-half decade acting career, appearing in such films as "The Towering Inferno" (1974), "Capricorn One" (1978), and the "Naked Gun" film trilogy.  His television appearances included the ABC miniseries, "Roots" (1977), "Goldie and the Boxer" (1979), and "In the Heat of the Night" (1979).  After his playing career, Simpson was a "color commentator," including on ABC 's "NFL Monday Night Football" (1983-85).  However, Simpson will best be remembered for being arrested, charged, and later acquitted for the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her... friend, Ron Goldman, on June 12, 1994.

Comics Review: "U & I #1" is Crazy, Sexy, Cool

U & I #1
AWA STUDIOS

STORY: J. Michael Straczynski
ART: Mike Choi
COLORS: Mike Choi
LETTERS: Sal Cipriano
COVER: Mike Choi
VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Mike Deodato, Jr. with Lee Loughridge; Mike Deodato, Jr.
32pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (February 2024)

Rating: Teen+

The Resistance created by J. Michael Straczynski, Mike Deodato, Jr., and Frank Martin

U & I is a new six-issue comic book miniseries written by J. Michael Straczynski and drawn and colored by Mike Choi.  It is the ninth entry in “The Resistance” universe that began with the 2020 six-issue miniseries, The Resistance.  U & I focuses on an unlikely romance between two new “Reborns.”  Letterer Sal Cipriano completes the series creative team.

U & I #1 opens in a world in which humanity is still dealing with the “Great Death” (“Big Death”), the planetary pandemic that killed 400 million people.  It also caused the emergence of over ten million people called “Reborns.”  They survived the pandemic and gained superhuman powers.

The series introduces U, a young man who can heal his body of the most serious wounds and grievous injuries.  Today, he will play the hero and save a woman from dangerous mobster hit men.

Then, there is Isabelle.  The government believes that she is hiding her powers, but she came out of the “Big Death” better, but seemingly without powers.  Still, the government is discriminating against Isabelle, and she is left hungry, homeless, and hopeless after her father's brother – her lowdown uncle – refuses to release her inheritance.

How will fate bring U and Isabelle together?

THE LOWDOWN:  AWA Studios' marketing has been providing me with PDF review copies of their comic book publications since April 2023.  U & I #1 is one of the latest.

I have not read any of the comic books in “The Resistance” franchise.  I wasn't on AWA's review list during the release of those publications.  After reading U & I #1, I do want to read more.  Why, you ask?  This is another excellent J. Michael Straczynski-written comic book.  The flashbacks are riveting, and the present day segments have firmly taken hold of my imagination.

I love Mike Choi's Frank Quitely-like compositions.  Choi captures the exhilaration and mystery that surrounds U, while establishing the trials and tribulations of Isabelle.  Choi's dazzling colors are a vivid signal to the reader's imagination, while Sal Cipriano's classic-style lettering conveys the futurism and possibilities of this narrative.

U & I #1 is yet another superb AWA Studios debut, and it promises that this series will be another winner from the publisher.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of the comic books of J. Michael Straczynski will want to try U & I.
