FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MILWAUKIE, OR— New York Times best-selling
novelist Chuck Palahniuk and acclaimed artist Cameron Stewart have
collaborated for one of the most highly anticipated literary events of
2016: the return of Tyler Durden. The first rule of Fight Club 2 might be not to talk about it, but Fight Club 2 is generating international headlines and will introduce a new generation of readers to Project Mayhem.
The critically acclaimed ten-issue comic series concluded last month, and the hardcover collection hits bookshelves on June 15. As announced last week, Palahniuk will also appear on a 10-city book tour to support the release of his graphic novel.
Ten years after starting Project Mayhem, Sebastian lives a mundane
life. A kid, a wife. Pills to keep his destiny at bay. But it won’t last
long; the wife has seen to that. He’s back where he started, but this
go-round he’s got more at stake than his own life. The time has arrived .
. .
An oversized, slipcased hardcover limited edition will be released in
October. It features a tip-in plate signed by Chuck Palahniuk, ninety pages of bonus content, and a striking new cover by legendary artist David Mack.
