We’re Breaking the First Rule of Fight Club … For a Good Reason
We’re Breaking the First Rule of Fight Club … For a Good Reason
MILWAUKIE, Ore., July 6, 2016 — Dark Horse is proud to announce Fight Club 2 is the number-one hardcover graphic novel on the New York Times (http://nyti.ms/25hlZmS)
best-seller list. Written by novelist Chuck Palahniuk, illustrated by
Eisner Award-winning artist Cameron Stewart, lettered by Nate Piekos of
Blambot, colored by award winner Dave Stewart, and featuring a cover by
David Mack, Fight Club 2 is Palahniuk’s first foray into comic book writing and his first New York Times best-seller.
Palahniuk expressed gratitude for his faithful fans. “Hitting NUMBER
ONE has never been my goal, but it’s a beautiful, unexpected gift from
so many of the readers I’m meeting on tour. Thank you. Tyler lives!”
Set ten years after the events of Fight Club, Fight Club 2
finds Sebastian living a mundane life and still in a dysfunctional
relationship with Marla. The sequel explores Sebastian’s struggles to
restrain Tyler Durden in his subconscious. Unfortunately, Sebastian’s
life is turned upside down when Tyler re-emerges to create chaos.
Chuck Palahniuk is currently on a book tour promoting Fight Club 2. For more information on signings, please visit: http://www.darkhorse.com/Blog/2305/dark-horse-announces-fight-club-2-book-tour-2016-f
Fight Club 2 is available in bookstores everywhere.
Chuck Palahniuk will publish his first coloring book for adults on October 26, 2016. Bait: Off-Color Stories for You to Color is Chuck’s second short story collection, with eight bizarre tales for fans to enjoy.
Fight Club 2 received rave reviews:
“If you’re looking for a punch to the cerebral cortex, definitely pick
this up. I want you to read this as hard as you can.” — Boing Boing
“Rule #1 of Fight Club is that you don’t talk about Fight Club. But after reading Fight Club 2,
it’s clear that we should be talking about Fight Club. ‘Tyler Lives,’
and I couldn’t be happier [about] the prospect of more bedlam.” —
Newsarama
“In the post-9/11 present, a hyperactive, Internet-obsessed, war- and
recession-weary America apparently needs Tyler again.” — The Atlantic
“Palahniuk is delivering a worthy sequel to his most beloved story.” — Nerdist

2016 Guest of Honor Kevin Eastman Announced for Baltimore Comic-Con
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - July 8, 2016 -
The Baltimore Comic-Con takes place in the beautiful Inner Harbor on
September 2-4, 2016 at the Baltimore Convention Center. The Baltimore
Comic-Con is proud to announce our 2016 Guest of Honor, Kevin Eastman. Don't miss out on the opportunity to see his premiere attendance at our show -- tickets are now on sale.
|
Kevin Eastman, collaborating with Peter Laird, self-published the first black & white issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
in May, 1984 under their Mirage Studios banner. The 40-page over-sized
comic had an initial print run of 3,000 copies, but received 3
additional printings within the next year and a half. Their second issue
brought in advance orders of 15,000 copies - five times the initial
print run of the first issue. By their fifth issue, TMNT was
reformatted to the "normal" American comics size, and the previous four
issues were reprinted to match with new color covers. With the Turtles'
growing success and exposure, the property was licensed to numerous
parties, including Dark Horse Miniatures, Palladium Books for an RPG,
and First Comics, who reprinted the first eleven issues as 4-color trade
paperback collections.
|
Palladium's RPG brought
the Turtles to the attention of a noted licensing agent, and the Turtles
phenomenon took off, with the various characters soon appearing on
t-shirts, Halloween masks, and coffee mugs, just to name a few.
In December, 1987, a five-part televised TMNT
cartoon mini-series debuted. Due to its success, this cartoon
mini-series led to follow-on seasons that resulted in a run of 9 years
over 10 seasons with 194 episodes in total. The ongoing success of the
animated series also led to yet further merchandise sales, and new
action figures and licensing agreements.
|
In 1990, Eastman went on
to found Tundra Publishing, which enabled him to meet his own projects
as well as those of creators looking for a way to publish independent
work. Titles that eventually found their way under the Tundra banner
include From Hell, Lost Girls, The Crow, American Splendor, and Madman. Discovering that Heavy Metal
had been put up for sale, and with one of Tundra's stated aims being to
bring a more adult sensibility to comics, Eastman purchased the
magazine in January 1992. In 1993, Eastman sold Tundra Publishing to
Kitchen Sink Press but maintained ownership of Heavy Metal, which he continues to edit.
|
He continues to work in comics for IDW Publishing, writing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe, Fistful of Blood, and Hero Comics: A Hero Initiative Benefit Book, drawing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Kevin Eastman Notebook Series and variant covers for TMNT titles such as TMNT: Bebop & Rocksteady Destroy Everything, and reprints of his past work is featured in IDW's TMNT Color Classics, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The IDW Collection, and TMNT collections. He has also provided variant covers for DC's Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
|
"This is really exciting for us,"
said Marc Nathan, promoter of the Baltimore Comic-Con. "We've been
hoping to line this up for some time now, and thanks to our friends at
IDW Publishing, we can finally put this one in the books. Kevin is one
of the people we hear about regularly, with fans asking us if we can
bring him to the show. We're thrilled we can finally answer, 'Yes!'"
