Summary

A new movement has replaced Project Mayhem， and even Tyler Durden doesn't know how to play by these rules。

Marla Singer is about to deliver her second child， but the daddy isn't her husband--it's Tyler， who's very invested in his heir， and the world he'll inherit， as Die Off Industries plots to fine-tune mankind。

Bestselling novelist Chuck Palahniuk is back with his greatest creation， the sequel to the book that spent six months on the 2016 New York Times bestseller list。

Teaming once again with award-winning artists Cameron Stewart and David Mack， Palahniuk leads a full frontal assault of the culture， from online dating to weaponized STDs， as a strange picture frame opens a road to paradise。 2019's bestselling twelve-issue series is collected in one massive hardcover。

A tale told by a decent writer who seems to have checked out， full of sound and fury， signifying nothing。 Somehow worse than Fight Club 2。

"I’m not your enemy。 Not this time。"Fight Club is my favorite book。 Everything about that book speaks to me on so many levels。 After reading Fight Club 2， I was left feeling a little down because it didn’t hit me as hard as it could。 So I didn’t get my hopes up really high for this one and after seeing other reviews， I really had zero expectations。 But this one was like a damn punch to the face and gut at the same time and it left me bruised and bloody in the pouring rain。 G**Damn was this good！ "I’m not your enemy。 Not this time。"Fight Club is my favorite book。 Everything about that book speaks to me on so many levels。 After reading Fight Club 2， I was left feeling a little down because it didn’t hit me as hard as it could。 So I didn’t get my hopes up really high for this one and after seeing other reviews， I really had zero expectations。 But this one was like a damn punch to the face and gut at the same time and it left me bruised and bloody in the pouring rain。 G**Damn was this good！ We see what the future holds and everything looks grim。 My favorite is that we see a backstory to Marla and Chloe！ Talk about a complete mind-f**k。 If you thought you knew it all， you better think again。 You’ll never see any of this coming。 Fight Club 3 took us back to the original Fight Club。 It brought back so many favorite parts of the original that I was giddy with excitement。 This was bloody， severely graphic， and I loved every single damn page。 This is the twisted Chuck we know and love。 。。。more

So， yeah， read the trilogy。 Conclusion: not as disappointed as with Fight Club 2 （kinda expected this one to be poor after 2）， but still unimpressed， unsatisfied and so on。 It doesn't even engage the reader， only creates a mild curiosity as in "what the hell will he do next， how will he end this， well， chreative anarchy"。 Palahniuk fans will try to like it， as I did， but many will just end up shaking their heads and remembering， nostalgically， what one of his or her favourite authors was once ca So， yeah， read the trilogy。 Conclusion: not as disappointed as with Fight Club 2 （kinda expected this one to be poor after 2）， but still unimpressed， unsatisfied and so on。 It doesn't even engage the reader， only creates a mild curiosity as in "what the hell will he do next， how will he end this， well， chreative anarchy"。 Palahniuk fans will try to like it， as I did， but many will just end up shaking their heads and remembering， nostalgically， what one of his or her favourite authors was once capable of。 Let's end on a positive note: art's really good。 。。。more

A better sequel than Fight Club 2， but still a bit of a mess narratively。

Terrible confusing mess。 Please stop fucking with Fight Club Chuck。

at first i thought i hated fight club 2， but reading this book made me appreciate number 2 more！ Is there a method to this madness？ Will number 4 make me appreciate this one more？ possibly！ So this rating could rise to a 4/5 in time。 just be warned， the gritty 'realism' of the fight club movie is long gone in these sequels， these are something totally different altogether and take a bit of adjusting to！ I oddly enjoyed this though， kind of！ strange experience！ at first i thought i hated fight club 2， but reading this book made me appreciate number 2 more！ Is there a method to this madness？ Will number 4 make me appreciate this one more？ possibly！ So this rating could rise to a 4/5 in time。 just be warned， the gritty 'realism' of the fight club movie is long gone in these sequels， these are something totally different altogether and take a bit of adjusting to！ I oddly enjoyed this though， kind of！ strange experience！ 。。。more

Absolute nonsense。 This had as much to do with Fight Club as Ghostbusters would have to Jaws if you named the shark Egon。

Woh！ The rabbit hole goes ever deeper！ And it is utterly awesome。

Stephen ，

I actually read it all in 1 sitting over a few hours。 If you like 2 then more than likely you will like 3。 It’s every bit as gonzo and twisty。 I would say it’s a tad anticlimactic as if there’s a lot of interesting ideas and they don’t quite all weave together satisfactorily， but there was enough here that I enjoyed。

Jeremy LaLonde ，

Gorgeous to look at， absolute nonsensical to read。 Meh。

What better to do when you're lying in bed for two days with horrible back pain？ Well。。。 read Fight Club 3 of course。A comic that reads like a puzzle or like a dark stories card game; you try to figure out what happened， but there's no one to read the other side of the card and tell you if you're right。 But maybe it's ok not to get the whole picture sometimes， to leave some questions unanswered and let your imagination poke into dark corners， I certainly don't mind。How to describe the art？ It's What better to do when you're lying in bed for two days with horrible back pain？ Well。。。 read Fight Club 3 of course。A comic that reads like a puzzle or like a dark stories card game; you try to figure out what happened， but there's no one to read the other side of the card and tell you if you're right。 But maybe it's ok not to get the whole picture sometimes， to leave some questions unanswered and let your imagination poke into dark corners， I certainly don't mind。How to describe the art？ It's just an amazing example of thinking outside of the box， or the little squares that comics are made of。 Stunning。 But that's to be expected from someone with Cameron Stewart's resume。The introduction was the perfect way to start this volume。 After I started reading it， I was liking it more and more， so that after a while I got intrigued by who wrote it and I glanced at the name and。。。 of course， Irvine Welsh， no one better to do it。 I wanna thank the editor or whoever had the idea for it for making it happen。I wanted to give this 4 stars at first， but the more I thought about it the more I realized that it's perfect in its imperfection。 So I can't give it less than 5。 。。。more

Chuck wrote the story he wanted and I appreciate that。 I just don't feel it comes together as well as Fight Club 2。 There are great nods and enormous creativity。 I ultimately don't know what happened in this story， due to the leaps taken。 Chuck wrote the story he wanted and I appreciate that。 I just don't feel it comes together as well as Fight Club 2。 There are great nods and enormous creativity。 I ultimately don't know what happened in this story， due to the leaps taken。 。。。more

Brett Plaxton ，

Wasn’t expecting to fly through this book so quickly。 Even for a graphic novel， it had more images than text。 Still not entirely sure what the story was， but it was still an interesting ride。

Another 'lackluster' turn out by Chucky。 I was not a fan of Fight Club 2 and this is more of the "let's make a sequel that barely resembles things from the previous installment（s） but 'furthers' the narrative'。。。"。 So， basically in this new installment， Tyler/Narrator （Balthazar） team together。 Marla is pregnant and is the pivotal aspect of the work， and she is pregnant 。。。with Tyler's baby rather than Narrator's。 （We've full gone out of realism now and are completely in a different realm of wor Another 'lackluster' turn out by Chucky。 I was not a fan of Fight Club 2 and this is more of the "let's make a sequel that barely resembles things from the previous installment（s） but 'furthers' the narrative'。。。"。 So， basically in this new installment， Tyler/Narrator （Balthazar） team together。 Marla is pregnant and is the pivotal aspect of the work， and she is pregnant 。。。with Tyler's baby rather than Narrator's。 （We've full gone out of realism now and are completely in a different realm of work， more spiritual， more supernatural， more non-reality than reality）。 This time， to "remake the world" they are releasing a STD/plague that will wipe out the 'non-essentials' （for lack of better word） and prepare the world for the Messiah - Tyler's child。Tyler is also now a 。。。 ephemeral character， a timeless character， that has appeared to Balthazar as a child as well as to Marla as a child， and is more or less a recurring persona rather than an actual person or character or part of the Narrator's psyche。 It is interesting read about an epidemic/pandemic/STD plague during the COVID crisis， and I'm sure this was written/conceptualized long before COVID/coronavirus was even a thing， but still interesting life/art parallel。 I can't say this is very interesting though。 Chuck seems to have some sort of fetish for a 'new world order' type story that he keeps going back to。 Adjustment Day。 This。 Etc。 And its。。。。 just a trope at this point。 "Ok， Project Mayhem is Rize or Die。。。 is now Die Endeavors。。。。 and they want to kill millions to create a world that is better for the next generation。。。。 blah blah blah。。。。"Fight Club （original） succeeded because it was more than just a NWO type telling， it was original， and it was written at a different time， and when Chuck Palahniuk was fresh。 Now。。。。 its all played out。。。 it doesn't work with our time。。。 it's regurgitated。。。。 it feels hackneyed。 And for this， it doesn't even come off as inspiring or interesting。Ok。。。 so a recruit is supposed to get a 'million tallies'。 Marla uses Chloe， a super sexed up old person who knows a sex club。。。 and that gets her her tallies。 Balthazar can slip into Tyler Burden to get his tallies up。 Meh。The side-story of the cross being repurposed as a frame， and leading to a specialty afterlife， and that Tyler Burden is Jesus or a Jesus-like being， （a son of God， if not THEE God of Abrahamic religions）， and that God is annoyed then when Tyler/Marla's child is a girl instead of a boy。。。。 its just。。。。。 so。。。。。 "yawn" 。。。。 "meh"。。。。。 and feels like Palahniuk is trying to make MORE of his character than it really needs to be。 Like Chuck fell in love with Tyler， and wants him to be a Jesus like character now and that he wants to 'subvert' expectations and have Marla be the focal point of this work， and she needs hit in the face to break the Tyler/Narrator facade （rather than the shot in the brain/cheek/head that was in the original book/movie） and that its a girl and not a boy for the new Messiah。It。。。。 just feels。。。。。 so hackneyed。。。。 rushed。。。。 and non-interesting。 And the introduction is such a piece of fan service and ass kissery by Irvine Welsh， that makes you think Chuck is the next coming himself and without him， literature would be ruined， worthless， and he's the only true storyteller left to humanity in the 2020s。。。。 and yet， this is what we get then from him。 。。。more

fight club 3 is sufficiently sound to entirely damn pleasant。 in chuck's own special manner， fight club 3 appears as though a reaction to how a few readers would decipher the primary continuation。 while palahniuk delighted in making jokes about the army of fans the first run through the round （with his glaringly meta side-plot which saw him attempting to satisfy them so much he needed to embed himself into the story）， this takes the direct inverse turn。 instead of blabber， he decides not to stat fight club 3 is sufficiently sound to entirely damn pleasant。 in chuck's own special manner， fight club 3 appears as though a reaction to how a few readers would decipher the primary continuation。 while palahniuk delighted in making jokes about the army of fans the first run through the round （with his glaringly meta side-plot which saw him attempting to satisfy them so much he needed to embed himself into the story）， this takes the direct inverse turn。 instead of blabber， he decides not to state a word， by and by evoking similar displeasure in his perusers that fight club itself should soothingly deliver。 the art style of cameron stewart， is as yet the high purpose of the arrangement， adhering to the matured portrayal of the notable cast of characters with included brutality and， fortunately， somewhat less otherworldly uncertainty。the dull green and grays and amusing idea air pockets of the storyteller serve to paint the dull world with a similar topic the composing depicts。 a world near our own somehow or another， however， one in which the characters get rid of the ties of similarity – or if nothing else has done before – and now end up sliding go into the meat processor of innovation and the obligations that accompany it。 it's a philosophical psychological study that happened by the paradigms of a notable storyline。 in the event that our age tries to demolish their fathers， how might they decide to respond to the nature of ensuring their own posterity all things considered？ would the think outside the box or would they say they are destined to turn into the truant dads they loathe to such an extent？art: 5/5story: 4。5/5 。。。more

Hard to recommend。 It had so little writing that I was able to read it in a 25min sitting。 Loved the artwork but the story was so average。 It didn't end in a satisfying way like Fight Club 2 did。 While there were some nice nods to the original and the sequel in there I felt like this one didn't add anything much。 Hard to recommend。 It had so little writing that I was able to read it in a 25min sitting。 Loved the artwork but the story was so average。 It didn't end in a satisfying way like Fight Club 2 did。 While there were some nice nods to the original and the sequel in there I felt like this one didn't add anything much。 。。。more

This was frightening， vulgar， and wild。 I liked the art and "Easter eggs" from original source material。 I was impressed that it actually had its own fully developed narrative beyond the novel。 Not sure what I expected but it wasn't a completely new story。 This one isn't for the faint of heart or easily offended。 This was frightening， vulgar， and wild。 I liked the art and "Easter eggs" from original source material。 I was impressed that it actually had its own fully developed narrative beyond the novel。 Not sure what I expected but it wasn't a completely new story。 This one isn't for the faint of heart or easily offended。 。。。more

I will always give Chuck a 5 because I consider him a mentor and friend。 He almost certainly does not consider me a friend， and that's cool。I went to a workshop with him for 3 months。 Every week I flew from Denver to Portland to meet up with some really great people and work with Chuck and Lidia Yuknavitch。 I was thinking I'd go see him when he came to Denver this last April， but signings are weird。 I never know what to say。 And I've made an idiot out of myself more than once。 And I was wonderin I will always give Chuck a 5 because I consider him a mentor and friend。 He almost certainly does not consider me a friend， and that's cool。I went to a workshop with him for 3 months。 Every week I flew from Denver to Portland to meet up with some really great people and work with Chuck and Lidia Yuknavitch。 I was thinking I'd go see him when he came to Denver this last April， but signings are weird。 I never know what to say。 And I've made an idiot out of myself more than once。 And I was wondering if Chuck would remember who I was。 Should I bring up that we were in the workshop together？ Would that just be embarrassing？ Would he not remember me and then feel bad for not remembering， which would make me feel bad because that's who I am？ What did I wear to the workshops？ Could I dress the same and maybe that'd cue him？ Then COVID happened， and the visit didn't， and I was spared the decision。 After working 12 weeks with him， I can say that he's a nice guy， and he knows a lot about writing fiction。 Don't make the mistake so many others have of thinking that Chuck is Tyler Durden， because he's not。 We paid。。。it was a small amount for the workshop， split between Chuck and Lidia。 I don't know what Lidia did with her half， I think it went to charity， but I know Chuck sent his half to the Pixie Project， and animal rescue in Portland， which is also referenced a few times in Fight Club 3。 Fight Club 3 was pretty confusing for me。 But I read it fast。 And I think， like Fight Club 2， it's pretty heavy allegory that blends the fictions of Fight Club with Chuck's real life。 It's interesting。 It works。 It warrants another more careful reading on my part。 I really think Chuck's works will make for interesting study someday。 He leaves a lot of unresolved questions in readers' minds， and he talks a lot about reality as it is to him， not as he'd like it to be。 I was just reading something about The Matrix being allegory for the Wachowskis' transitions （from male to female？ I'm not sure if that's how you say that correctly。 I mean no offense）。 One of the Wachowski's confirmed this， which I think may ultimately hurt the movie's popularity in the long run。 Not because people "don't want" a movie about that， but because left open， it can really be about anything。 It could be about any eye-opening change that， once seen， can't be unseen。 It can mean different things to different people， and it can also mean different things to the same people at different points in their lives。 I think an ongoing critical debate would've kept that movie alive， given it new life with a completely new audience， and I think that there would've been a pretty good amount of debate of what the Matrix "really" means initiated by lots of different groups。 But I think saying it's definitively about one thing or another means there's not much point debating it anymore。 We can debate its effectiveness as an allegory for living as a trans person， but there's really no more debate about what it "really" means。 Its intent is no longer debateable。 Only its impact。Chuck's works are different。 They work on a simple， story level， but his place in the cyclical world of books and stories is mostly unexplained。 His motivations for writing most of his books are stated here and there， but you'll notice he mostly talks about the germ of the idea and its development， not a "lesson" he was trying to share。 Anyway， this book is his most abstract， and I'll admit I had a harder time following it than I did any of his others。 But I blame myself。 For now。 It needs a deeper dive。 And I wonder if this is part of his legacy。 Does writing some things that are a little more obtuse， alongside those things that are more direct， keep things interesting and relevant？ 。。。more

There’s just nothing here。 No real story。 Repeat lines。 Pointlessly gross at times。 No meaningful symbolism。 No challenging thoughts or calls to action。 Just nothing。 At least it was quick so I didn’t feel like I wasted time。Biggest positive was Cameron Stewart’s ability to story tell without lots of narrative， well done Cam
