Fight Club 2 (Fight Club 2 #1-10)
Okay, let me cut to the chase: I really hated this book, recommend you do NOT read it, and I wonder how a writer such as Brian Bendis could have written a blurb for it. I can imagine drinks were exchanged and/or there are close personal friendships involved. Sure he knows Dark Horse and the artists! You have an internationally famous writer, legendary author of the Fight Cluba book, to be clear, I only now just read, and loved, found edgy and sharp and darkly funny and socially insightfulwith
Yeesh. Symbolic, sure. Meta, kind of. But I don't understand why Mr. Palahniuk did this. It's far from his heavy-hitting critical theory fiction, and deep into the written-because-it-will-sell category. I'd say don't read this and keep your memory of Fight Club pure.
10 years after Project Mayhem Hes called Sebastian these days. Married to Marla Singer, the two have a son, Junior. Released from the funny farm with a heavy-duty pill regimen, he works an office job, she plays the doting housewife, and both are crushingly bored. The pills keep him away. Except Marlas been substituting Sebastians pills with sugar out of desperation for a good lay! The urge for a good fight is building again. Now someones kidnapped their son. Hes back. And this time Tyler Durden
That very strange time in the narrator's life? It never ended. Surprisingly - or, actually, UNSURPRISINGLY - Marla stuck around.Clever self-aware narrative and killer artworkNo who wants to hit me?
I am Jack's bitter disappointment
I am Jack's disappointing sequel. Chuck Palahniuk follows up his Fight Club novel (slightly different than the movie) with a comic series collected here. Our protagonist (here named Sebastian) is 10 years older, married to Marla Singer and father to a precocious little child. He's popping pills and living in a haze, doing whatever employed, middle aged white guys do in these sorts of stories.It's Fight Club. But older! It's the movie except everyone knows the twist about Brad Pitt and Ed Norton

Many stories are granted the status of a classic after a certain amount of time has passed - often decades, sometimes even centuries. Chuck Palahniuk was one of the authors who got to experience how his work started something close to a cultural movement. And how do you cope with a situation that no one has ever prepared you for?
