Chuck Palahniuk is making a sequel to the schizo-trippy novel on contemporary manhood that inspired teenaged boys everywhere to fistfight in the name of anarchy. Instead of traditional fiction, the second installment will be a maxiseries by Dark Horse Comics. Fight Club 2 debuts in May 2015 as a 10-issue graphic novel illustrated by Cameron Stewart.
Palahniuk broke the news in an interview with USA Today, but he sealed the fate of Fight Club 2 last year, when he accidentally mentioned a sequel at New York's Comic Con.
"I messed up and said I was doing the sequel in front of 1,500 geeks with telephones," Palahniuk told USA Today. "Suddenly, there was this big scramble to honor my word."
In his virtuosic fashion, Palahniuk will use juxtaposition in Fight Club 2 to flashback to younger years. However, the new plot will focus on the unnamed narrator ten years after his creation of Project Mayhem, which is still kicking. The now middle-aged father tries to raise his 9-year-old boy – son to wife Marla Singer – but finds himself repeating the same failures of his father.
The first novel was "such a tirade against fathers – everything I had thought my father had not done combined with everything my peers were griping about their fathers," Palahniuk told USA Today. "Now to find myself at the age that my father was when I was trashing him made me want to revisit it from the father's perspective and see if things were any better and why it repeats like that."
This will likely be a total disaster, but I'll be reading it.

Like most un-asked for sequels/remakes. I really have no idea how they can take the story any further, what can they possibly do? Will Edward Norton (forgot his characters name) find another imaginary friend or what?

"Narrator."

Last I saw, it was supposed to be from the point of view of a long-repressed Tyler Durden deep within the narrator's psyche.
No thanks.
his son. it's from his sons perspective. or that's what the article said. and it's marla singers and his baby. will as a baby but at the time of the story "coming of age"
Ah, yeah I didn't read your article. I was basing it off some info from last year. My bad.
