Praise for the comics that comprise Fight Club 2: “At turns deeply poignant and very funny, Palahniuk’s freakish fables capture a twisted zeitgeist and add an oddly inspirational and subversive voice to the contemporary canon….  In the post-9/11 present, a hyperactive, Internet-obsessed, war- and recession-weary America apparently needs Tyler again.”—THE ATLANTIC“The book is fantastic, my highest recommendation.... Excellent work by Cameron Stewart and David Mack, and by our awesome friends at Dark Horse Comics.”—Brian Michael Bendis“If Tyler Durden needed a resurgence, there’s no time like the present for his return… Fight Club 2 is a comic that taps back into everything great about the source material, and one that makes Tyler Durden’s warm nihilistic embrace a welcome draw back into a familiar world of cynicism, violence, and anarchy....“Tyler Lives,” and I couldn’t be happier by the prospect of more bedlam.”—NEWSARAMA“Palahniuk is delivering a worthy sequel to his most beloved story.”—THE NERDIST“Entertaining.”—COMIC BOOK RESOURCES“Excellent.”—THE BEAT“An amazing piece of work. You do not want to miss out on this.”—COMICVINE“Perfect.”—FORCES OF GEEK“We have a worthy sequel on our hands…. A must read.”—COMICOSITY“Cameron Stewart truly outdoes himself on every level in this book.”—BLOODY DISGUSTING“Clever and beautiful.”—COMICS ALLIANCE

Collects Fight Club 3 issues #1-#12."Whether you've been a fan since the '90s or were hooked by the jump to comics, you'll want to see what comes next in this highly unpredictable saga."- PASTE MAGAZINE"Fight Club 3 is everything that a sequel to a sequel should be. It elevates the dark themes of the novel and the first graphic novel to the next illogical, insanely violent step." - COMICON.COM"Palahniuk's work takes some of our greatest shortcomings--insufficient or inadequate parenting, toxic isolation-- then magnifies and underlines them in fractured skulls and drunken vomit." - PLAYBOY"Scabby and surreal." - DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD"The first rule of the comic book incarnation of Fight Club is that it'll look good." - HOLLYWOOD REPORTER"Ambitious." - ADVENTURES IN POOR TASTE"Trippy." - EVERYTHING ACTION"The talent and care that went into this issue is palpable, from David Mack's cover to Nate Piekos' lettering... This book does not allow you to get comfortable." - COMICWATCH"Stewart continues to do the Fight Club saga justice with his artwork...flies and all." - ROGUES PORTAL"Bold...Palahniuk doesn't give us what we want here but rather what we need. Namely a story that makes the reader think not just about what's going on but also about their own expectations of the archetypes portrayed in the story; the flies buzzing on the page hinting at a character's intent; the name drop of "snowflake" for a caller I.D.; a subtle tattoo on the neck. All raising enough questions to leave us staring at every panel with the steely focus of a seasoned detective combing a crime scene for clues." - BIG COMIC PAGE

"A harrowing, perverse, laugh-aloud funny rocket ride of catastrophes...Gutsy, terse and cunning, Invisible Monsters may emerge as Palahniuk's strongest book." -Greg Berkman, Seattle Times

Im Milleniumsjahr 2000 entwickelte sich »Fight Club« zu einem waschechten Massenphänomen. Die Verfilmung des gleichnamigen Debütromans von Chuck Palahniuk (der ebenfalls das Drehbuch schrieb) wurde ein Blockbuster, Regisseur David Fincher zählt seither zu den wichtigsten Filmemachern Hollywoods und Autor Chuck Palahniuk mauserte sich zum enfant terrible der amerikanischen Literaturszene und besetzt regelmäßig die Bestsellerlisten. Den Rest besorgte Brad Pitts ikonische Darstellung des Tyler Durden, in dem sich nihilistischer Kulturpessimismus und anarchistischer Befreiungskampf wider die Diktatur des verlogenen Mittelstandsgehorsams schauderhaft vereinten. »Fight Club« war ätzende Kapitalismuskritik im Gewand des Starkinos, der Kult hält bis heute an. Was mag 15 Jahre später aus Tyler Durden geworden sein, dessen düsteren Zukunftsprognosen von der Gegenwart so verheerend unterboten wurden? Die Frage ließ dem bekennenden Comicfan Palahniuk keine Ruhe, und so schuf er zusammen mit dem kanadischen Starzeichner und Eisner-Award-Gewinner Cameron Stewart (Superman Adventures, B.P.R.D., Batman) exklusiv diese Graphic Novel, um Tyler Durden, nach Literatur und Film, im Comic eine weitere Bühne zu geben. Tyler Durden ist zurück - zweifellos eine der faszinierendsten Fortsetzungen der zeitgenössischen amerikanischen Popkulturgeschichte!

Chuck Palahniuk returns with the chilling tale, in classic Palahniuk tradition, of a father in search of his daughter, a young woman with a secret, and a malicious recording that can make "the whole world scream at the exact same time."

People pass the word only to those they trust most: Adjustment Day is coming. When it arrives, Adjustment Day inaugurates a new Disunited States of America. In this mind-blowing novel, Palahniuk fearlessly makes real the logical conclusion of every separatist fantasy, alternative fact, and conspiracy theory lurking in the American psyche.
