Chuck Palahniuk Breaks Fight Club's First Rule; Reveals Sequel Will Be in Graphic Novel Form
Fight Club's first rule is you don't talk about fight club, yet Tyler Durden is coming back. Author Chuck Palahniuk's popular character from his cult novel Fight Club returns in a sequel, this time, in graphic novel form.
Fight Club tells the story of an unnamed protagonist as he narrates how he met a mysterious man named Tyler Durden and how they came to establish an underground fighting club.
Palahniuk announced about the sequel at the Comic-Con panel on Friday July 19, which he officially confirmed later on his Web site.
According to the post, the author has already been introduced to artists and creators from Marvel, DC and Dark Horse. The sequel, serialised in graphic novel form, may come out earlier than 2015.
Palahniuk wrote: "It will likely be a series of books that update the story ten years after the seeming end of Tyler Durden. Nowadays, Tyler is telling the story, lurking inside Jack, and ready to launch a come-back. Jack is oblivious. Marla is bored. Their marriage has run aground on the rocky coastline of middle-aged suburban boredom. It’s only when their little boy disappears, kidnapped by Tyler, that Jack is dragged back into the world of Mayhem."
He also promised the sequel to be "dark and messy". He admitted that he has not "hammer out the complete story" and has not been in talks with any publisher.
