New Details on the Fight Club Comic Book Sequel

When news of a Fight Club sequel first emerged almost exactly one year ago, it was surprising to hear that the story would not take the form of a novel, but in a proposed comic book series. Of course, most fans are familiar with Fight Club, the film, and not the novel, as some changes were made to better adapt the novel into the Brad Pitt and Edward Norton film (notably the switch from using an unnamed protagonist to identifying him as “Jack”). Last November, a few more details on the comic book series were revealed, including the ten-year time jump between Fight Club and its sequel, how “Jack” and Marla have fared since the end of the original story, their nine-year-old son, and the re-emergence of Tyler Durden from within “Jack’s” psyche.

In a recent interview with USA TodayFight Club author Chuck Palahniuk shared some more information on the upcoming series, including hinting that Tyler is more than just an internal psychological being within “Jack’s” psyche, the trouble both “Jack” and Marla have within their relationship, and one of the series’ major themes involving father-son dynamics from the father’s perspective. You can read more about those details here, but be sure to check out the first official artwork from the Fight Club sequel below from illustrator Cameron Stewart.
