In The Chimera Brigade Vol. 1, superhumans rise during World War II, battling both injustice and a looming existential threat that could end their reign.

Set against the backdrop of World War II, The Chimera Brigade Vol. 1 explores an alternate history where an elite group of superhumans emerges to reshape the fate of Europe. This remarkable narrative introduces readers to a unique class of individuals who possess extraordinary abilities, allowing them to take control of major capital cities. While some of these superhumans dedicate their powers to combating injustice and tyranny, others exploit their gifts for personal gain and to instill fear among the populace.
