Fight Club 2 #1 by Chuck Palahniuk
5.0

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.

I cannot wait to see the next book!
