TOP MANGA OF THE MONTH

Reality and manga meld as one under the influence of a grinding meta-feud between a once beloved mangaka and his outraged fanbase. Expat Press presents Vitiators by Elytron Frass and Charles N.: a satiric metafictional atrocity in graphic novel form. Vitiators openly invites its readers to become complicit in the psycho-delic celebration of its gore eroded exploits and offenses. If you committed suicide your family would find this book in your room and judge you. Vitiators proves that a God exists, but it doesn’t love us.
