I liked the movie and I liked the book. A lot. Fight Club remains to this day a cult classic. Chuck Palahniuk performed splendidly with the writing and David Fincher, Brad Pitt and Edward Norton lived up to the game starring in the movie. Whoever watched it I bet didn’t look at a bar of soap the same way again. I never thought a part 2 will be in the works for the film but there’s a second part for the book in the form of a 10-issue comic miniseries. Apparently, imaginary friends don’t go away that easy and everyone’s nameless narrator and the jaw-breaking soap-maker Tyler Durden reunite. With the involvement of Chuck Palahniuk himself, Fight Club 2 is set after a decade of Project Mayhem. If you ever wondered what happened to the anonymous narrator and his always-there companion, writer Chuck Palahniuk, artist Cameron Stewart and Dark Horse Comics will give you the answer starting May 27.
The rules of Fight Club
In a nutshell, the protagonist from the first book(and movie) is married to problematic support group and pill addict Marla Singer and tries to adjust to this life, while more background and more about Tyler Durden’s origins will be revealed.

In the meantime, there is a 6-page excerpt available here that you can read in anticipation. A mundane existence was never in question for Palahniuk’s characters and the catchphrase Rize or Die does a better job at portraying this
