Corps is, in a nutshell, the lovechild of X-Men and Band of Brothers set in a steampunk-influenced environment analogous to our own 1920s-1940s Europe. It follows the men of the Io IX Corps, a special military unit formed two years ago in a desperate bid to survive the onslaught of a burgeoning world war. The Corps is not comprised of ordinary soldiers; rather, it is the product of an intensive recruitment effort to assemble the most supernaturally gifted individuals in Io and repurpose their rare and specific but immensely powerful abilities for combat. In a world where gods are no longer relevant, Io has decided to raise its own on the battlefield—no matter the consequences.
