Author Chuck Palahniuk has confirmed via a posting on his official site that he's planning a graphic novel sequel to his iconic book Fight Club
The original book was adapted into a movie in 1999 by director David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton.
Palahniuk broke the news at Comic-Con last week, but elaborated on the news:
"About the graphic novel, it's true. Chelsea Cain has been introducing me to artists and creators from Marvel, DC and Dark Horse and they're walking me through the process. 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. It will, of course, be dark and messy.
Due to contract obligations it can't come to light for a while. Next year is "Beautiful You," followed by the story collection. But since the Fight Club sequel will appear serialized in graphic form, my book publisher might allow me to launch it earlier than 2015."
Sounds cool!
