review:
'Failsafe' by F.J. DeSanto, Todd Farmer, and Federico Dallocchio is about a scary future not far from now where the government has gone overboard to protect it's citizens. And speaking of overboard....

Fearing terrorist attacks, the government has secretly created sleeper agents. When they are triggered, they become super strong, have fast healing, seem to be immune to radiation, but not immune to EMP devices. And there are thousands of them!

I read a lot of things that stretch my willingness to believe, but this premise was so ludicrous that I kept reading just to find out more about this bonkers story. A lone U.S. agent is able to match wits and overpower these super soldiers. The citizens are completely unaware of this having happened to them, and their leader looks like someone out of a Mad Max movie. There are hostages, gun battles, karate kicks, and silly plot devices. The premise of this is just ridiculous.

The art felt weird too. Characters felt lifeless and flat on the page, and didn't seem to even be on the same plane with each other at times. The digital art was just lacking.

This might fall in to a "so bad it's good" category, but I'm not recommending it.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Vault Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
