Fight Club 2 (Graphic Novel)

Good buy, great condition good price.

A wild read. However, I was a bit disappointed by the author putting himself into the story line. It just seemed a cheap writing trick. The rest of the story is okay, a bit convoluted but easy to follow. I'm glad it was released as a comic book instead of a novel. I don't think the writing would have held up in novel format. I like that the author referenced the original book and poked a bit of fun at the film. (I actually enjoyed the book better than the film, and I loved the film.) That all being said, I'm happy with my purchase, the book is of high quality and I look forward to revisiting it at a later date. So if you're curious as to the future of Tyler Durden... I recommend you pick this up and read it.

I enjoyed it, always felt the movie was confusing , the book is confusing too but it's about a mad man so it all fits, I think it's a good read, has some good lines makes me think

I was SO excited when this finally appeared in my mailbox! And Mr. Palahniuk certainly did not disappoint. First of all, this graphic novel is beautiful- not only are the comics themselves fantastic, there are also watercolors that mark each chapter that are absolutely incredible! Over the mix of drawings and watercolors, there are also splashes of other items (pills, rose petals, etc.) and words like "blam," "pow," "bark" that float on top of the comic. I thought this was incredibly clever because it made the dialogue seem more "real" with all of the interruptive action and background noise. The storyline picks up ten years after the start of Project Mayhem. To avoid giving anything away... I will just say that I loved 1) the appearance of a few of the characters from the first book/movie, 2) how elements (ex. support groups) from the first book/movie carried over into this one, and 3) that the author himself came into the storyline.

Honestly, the ending was akin to that of a deadpool comic. A 4th wall break and then the whole twist of Tyler being a personification, or a literal being of chaos and malevolence, is fairly absurd and takes away from the fairly realistic first book. Also, the redux ending, how come it is insane that a rag tag group of people blew up a building? I mean, Tinothy McVeigh blew up a federal building in OKC, if I recall correctly, in '93. So, a lone bomber blew up a building but a cult leader could not? But, I digress. I can't complain about Tyler because it is Tyler and even if he is a cold Sociopath, he is very cathartic of you will. Anyway, it was a fairly fun read, just when you go back over it again, its flaws start to show more and more.

wonderful

Don’t miss it. If you’re a Fight Club fan, this is a must have. Can’t wait for part three. The writing is superb post mod and the art is gorgeous.

I learned about this graphic novel belatedly, just as I learned of the novel. Jim Uhls' script wove together themes and fixed other issues in the book. Fast forward a decade and a half, and we have Chuck Palahniuk's sequel in a format he isn't familiar with. Palahniuk continues the "Fight Club" story from the book; he doesn't own the rights to the film's ending. I'm critical of the outcome of this graphic novel. So that my biases are evident, I favor Palahniuk's "Fight Club," "Survivor," "Invisible Monsters," and "Haunted." The unnamed narrator we knew as "Jack" is Sebastian, now in his mid-30s. Sebastian is a heavily medicated depressive, stuck in another blah office job and trying to raise his potentially disturbed son with his wife, Marla Singer. Marla secretly goes to groups. Bored, she finds a way to resurrect Tyler Durden. The tragedy here is poor execution. Marla is a thinly sketched and unrealistic film noir trope. Sebastian's cutting wit has disappeared; he's pathetic. The premise could have been excellent. The myth of 1990s prosperity has passed, blown away by exposed accounting gimmicks, hyped IPOs, declining wages, and outright fraud. Terrorist attacks, several wars, and 2008's near-economic collapse have darkened the United States. The Space Monkeys have shifted to a mercenary bent and a "culling the herd" philosophy. Durden has reemerged as murderous, imperious and messianic. The evolution makes sense: Fight club emerges from in-group violence to the pranks of Project Mayhem, to an even darker vision to recast the world according to Tyler Durden's ideals. Sebastian's mid-30s, family man crisis, his lack of friends, and ailing marriage offer a fertile backdrop for his relapse. Instead, Palahniuk fails miserably to deliver a meaningful story after the first third of the graphic novel. Some interesting bits about Durden's origins ring true. The book is beautifully illustrated, although the art obstructs significant text and dialogue. Palahniuk also resorts to breaking the 4th wall to navel gaze about "Fight Club's" cultural significance, and cribs elements of his later introduction to "Fight Club." Look at me and what I've unleashed on the world. Ultimately, it's an unsatisfying experience that fizzles out following a great premise, setting and build up. Too bad Jim Uhls wasn't tapped to write the sequel.

Exatamente o que esperada do meu autor favorito

Habia esperado mucho tiempo por este libro y no me decepcionó. Si eres fan del club de la pelea esto es algo que debes de tener. Aparte del primer libro de chuck palahniuk.

Lovely. Came the release date which is wonderful. Gorgeous book. Wonderful cover.

A great follow up to the first story. I won't comment on the actual story, as to not give it away, but The Narrator (who now has a name) is clearly fed up and bored with his mundane life and normal routine, which he has to stay heavily medicated to do. He misses his invisible friend and all the action, and one thing leads to another, and we're back to the awesome craziness that we loved in the original. The artwork is beautiful and fits the dark themes and humour of the content perfectly. Some graphic novels I'll just quickly flip through and not pay too much attention to the details, but I found myself staying on certain pages of this book for a while, just admiring the drawings. I bought the hardback copy, and it's very good quality. Lovely addition to my collection. I hope they make this in to a movie.

La continuazione di un classico in formato graphic novel disegnato con uno stile innovativo, un must per i fan di chuck!
