Fight Club 2!

I know, I know, I'm breaking the first rule of Fight Club by posting this, but it's been a great read!

Back in May, Dark Horse Comics released the first issue of Fight Club 2, which picks up ten years after the original Fight Club concluded.  It follows "Jack," who now goes by the name of "Sebastian" and he's now married to Marla.  They're enjoying married life until Tyler Durden shows back up!

Fight Club 2 is being written by Chuck Palahniuk and being drawn by Cameran Stewart.  It will only be a ten-issue run, so after they've all been released, expect a graphic novel to come out that covers the entire story.

Along with Jack/Sebastian, Marla, and Tyler Durden, expect other characters from the original novel to be making an appearance, as well as the group from Project Mayhem.  One interesting character that made his apperance in issue #3 was none other than Chuck Palahniuk himself!  Also, Mister Know-It-All seems to be playing a big part in the storyline.  When asked about this character in a recent interview, here's what Palahniuk had to say:

"You’re referring to Mister Know-It-All. His character is allowed to make bookish references to Joseph Campbell, Robert Bly, Victor Turner and risk seeming more erudite than Tyler could ever come across. Tyler might know all this social theory, but he knows it on an intuitive level, and generates actions which demonstrate it physically. Mister Know-It-All can simply spout academic words. It’s a nice lull between action sequences, and it might prompt someone, somewhere, to pick up a book. That said, his observations elevate the story above being merely a series of antics."

If you haven't already been reading this series, you need to start, or at least keep an eye out for the graphic novel after the ten-issue run is over.
