Matthew Kreglow ，

Navel-gazy， pretentious and an insult to the original。

Jaellayna Palmer ，

I tried to like it， I really did。 Honest I did。 Why did I dislike it so much？ Because it tries too hard。 Over-the-tip edgy， profane， coarse。 Exaggerated in every way， peddling shock。 I don't think it's "me"; I've read the 1st book 3 or 4 times， seen the movie at least as many times。 I've read other books by the same author， and I've found other graphic novels immersive， both in terms of the imagery as well as the story。 But this one？ Nope！ Uh-uh。 I tried to like it， I really did。 Honest I did。 Why did I dislike it so much？ Because it tries too hard。 Over-the-tip edgy， profane， coarse。 Exaggerated in every way， peddling shock。 I don't think it's "me"; I've read the 1st book 3 or 4 times， seen the movie at least as many times。 I've read other books by the same author， and I've found other graphic novels immersive， both in terms of the imagery as well as the story。 But this one？ Nope！ Uh-uh。 。。。more

Elon ，

This was， surprising nobody， a mistake。

Jaime Young ，

I would reread this just to try it again but I feel like some things don't need a sequel。 It feels like Palahniuk agrees with that sentiment in this book as well。 Things get very meta。 This is probably a take it or leave it situation。 I will say the art was really nice and there were stylistic choices I really enjoyed。 Only 2 stars for me but If you're a fan of the original book you may want to check it out just for the heck of it。 I would reread this just to try it again but I feel like some things don't need a sequel。 It feels like Palahniuk agrees with that sentiment in this book as well。 Things get very meta。 This is probably a take it or leave it situation。 I will say the art was really nice and there were stylistic choices I really enjoyed。 Only 2 stars for me but If you're a fan of the original book you may want to check it out just for the heck of it。 。。。more

This was so bad。 If you don’t have good ideas for a sequel then just let it rest。 Admitting to deus ex machina in the story （while breaking the 4th wall） doesn’t excuse you from it， it makes it worse！

Rojo Dave ，

Nah， not buying it。 Disappointing and meaningless。 Nice art but bad writing。 I say this as a Palahniuk fan。 But this is more like an experiment in pure silly escapism instead of transgresive fiction with a deep uncomfortable message。 Wannabe secuel to Fight Club。 Not recomendable I'm afraid （only if you're a fan and want to check out what went wrong with Chuck's creativity）。 Shame; it could have been fantastic， was so looking forward to reading it as both a fan of the author and graphic novels。 Nah， not buying it。 Disappointing and meaningless。 Nice art but bad writing。 I say this as a Palahniuk fan。 But this is more like an experiment in pure silly escapism instead of transgresive fiction with a deep uncomfortable message。 Wannabe secuel to Fight Club。 Not recomendable I'm afraid （only if you're a fan and want to check out what went wrong with Chuck's creativity）。 Shame; it could have been fantastic， was so looking forward to reading it as both a fan of the author and graphic novels。 Oh well。 。。。more

The Ether ，

7/10 starsBetter than the reviews led me to believe。 This book was strange， funny， twisted， meta and a little confusing all rolled into one。 I don't understand why the child-adults were the ones involved （as opposed to any other support group's people）， I don't understand why he broke the third wall as an author， or why he was compelled to write this story but in all， it's better than a lot of his more recent books。 I don't begrudge him for revitalizing Tyler Durden and I think the graphic novel 7/10 starsBetter than the reviews led me to believe。 This book was strange， funny， twisted， meta and a little confusing all rolled into one。 I don't understand why the child-adults were the ones involved （as opposed to any other support group's people）， I don't understand why he broke the third wall as an author， or why he was compelled to write this story but in all， it's better than a lot of his more recent books。 I don't begrudge him for revitalizing Tyler Durden and I think the graphic novel format suits this book exceptionally well。 I don't think Fight Club needed a sequel， but as this is it， it's decent。 PROS: Typical， old school Palahniuk （YAY！） in that it's a strange plot and goes to weird places; less dated than the original; Funny; Well drawn and storybooked; Fleshes out the story of narrator / Tyler Durden; A complete story （I was happily surprised）。CONS: It's really strange plot and goes to weird places （Mogadishu？？）！！; Relies heavily on the original （repeats a lot of the sayings， etc）; Unnecessary sequel; Tyler Durden's real life namesake is Sebastian？ Really？ 。。。more

Matt Herron ，

A shocking return to the Fight Club theme。 I was really into it， even though I've changed a lot since the original novel made such an impact on me。 A shocking return to the Fight Club theme。 I was really into it， even though I've changed a lot since the original novel made such an impact on me。 。。。more

Quienes esperen una secuela a la película de David Fincher， se llevarán una sorpresa no grata。 Quienes hayan leído a Palahniuk y aprecien su humor negro y su acidez encontrarán una agradable sorpresa。 Esta novela gráfica es un muy interesante experimento en lo que antes se conocía como la ruptura de la cuarta pared y ahora se alude como "meta"。 Visualmente es impresionante y aunque la trama se enreda mucho hacia la mitad del volumen， tiene una resolución satisfactoria en la que la historia es lo Quienes esperen una secuela a la película de David Fincher， se llevarán una sorpresa no grata。 Quienes hayan leído a Palahniuk y aprecien su humor negro y su acidez encontrarán una agradable sorpresa。 Esta novela gráfica es un muy interesante experimento en lo que antes se conocía como la ruptura de la cuarta pared y ahora se alude como "meta"。 Visualmente es impresionante y aunque la trama se enreda mucho hacia la mitad del volumen， tiene una resolución satisfactoria en la que la historia es lo de menos。 Para leer varias veces。。。 sin tomársela muy en serio。 。。。more

Weischris ，

This is the most disappointing piece of work from one of my favorite authors。

Silke ，

The art is good but that doesn't make up for the trash story。 Did Palahniuk purposefully try to ruin Fight Clubs legacy with this？ The art is good but that doesn't make up for the trash story。 Did Palahniuk purposefully try to ruin Fight Clubs legacy with this？ 。。。more

4。5 starsA very good follow up to Fight Club。 Loved the insight into where Tyler comes from。 Would have given 5 stars， but I'm not a fan of an author inserting themselves into a story 4。5 starsA very good follow up to Fight Club。 Loved the insight into where Tyler comes from。 Would have given 5 stars， but I'm not a fan of an author inserting themselves into a story 。。。more

First one was way better

I'm going to preface this by saying that Palahniuk is genuinely one of my favorite authors -- I absolutely love nearly everything I've read by him。 And that said， despite how objectively awesome the film adaptation of Fight Club was， I'd have argued that the novel was ones of his weakest works， compared to Invisible Monsters， Survivor， or Choke， for instance。 I was intrigued to see how this particular storyline would lend itself to the graphic novel format and。。。 honestly， it felt like a mescali I'm going to preface this by saying that Palahniuk is genuinely one of my favorite authors -- I absolutely love nearly everything I've read by him。 And that said， despite how objectively awesome the film adaptation of Fight Club was， I'd have argued that the novel was ones of his weakest works， compared to Invisible Monsters， Survivor， or Choke， for instance。 I was intrigued to see how this particular storyline would lend itself to the graphic novel format and。。。 honestly， it felt like a mescaline trip。 It's so disjointed and chaotic and veers too frequently into meta territory。 For anyone that's read Fight Club or even just seen the movie， that shouldn't be terribly surprising， but I'm telling you。。。 the narrative thread here is hanging together by atoms。 Even a good chunk of the dialogue is partially cribbed from the original novel， and the parts that aren't feel like pretentious， B-level， snarky commentary that didn't make it into the final cut from the original book。 Despite all it's shortcomings， I will say that the artwork is EXCELLENT。 I really did dig the aesthetic that Stewart employed throughout， but admittedly without that to keep me engaged， this was truthfully kind of a slog to get through ¯\_（ツ）_/¯ 。。。more

Mike V ，

Meh

João Vitor ，

É uma pegada bem diferente da história。 O autor usa da nova mídia （quadrinhos） pra colocar elementos bem surreais， como literalmente um ZUMBI na história。 Então não espere uma história realista。 Mas na minha opinião， isso não tornou a obra ruim。 Não achei tão incrível quanto o primeiro， mas ele definitivamente expande a história para algo muito interessante。 Ansioso para ler o 3。

BMK ，

You have to admire the audacity of taking your big popular hit story and then doing a sequel that will almost purposely piss off the people who liked the original。 Nice meta ending。 Self aware and devoid of fucks given。

Jeff Lorentz ，

Very strong start， felt like the author didn't know how to finish it so he took it in a meta direction with a non-ending that left me pretty unsatisfied。 A bummer considering how much I enjoyed the first。 Very strong start， felt like the author didn't know how to finish it so he took it in a meta direction with a non-ending that left me pretty unsatisfied。 A bummer considering how much I enjoyed the first。 。。。more

Teresithia ，

I never understood wtf was going on in these

Shawn Ingle ，

Fight Club 2 detracts rather than enhances or builds upon anything from its predecessor。 The characters felt more like caricatures of their former selves。 I didn't feel at all invested or even intrigued in any of what was going on。 It was bizarre and outlandish without any of the wit or intelligence that made the original brilliant。 The humor that is present is basically just regurgitating stuff from the Fight Club book and movie。 Saying this was disappointing is putting it mildly。 Fight Club 2 detracts rather than enhances or builds upon anything from its predecessor。 The characters felt more like caricatures of their former selves。 I didn't feel at all invested or even intrigued in any of what was going on。 It was bizarre and outlandish without any of the wit or intelligence that made the original brilliant。 The humor that is present is basically just regurgitating stuff from the Fight Club book and movie。 Saying this was disappointing is putting it mildly。 。。。more

3。5⭐️⭐️⭐️✨Weirder than the first but nothing beats the OG Fight Club。 It was a no brainer when I purchased this graphic novel。 Who doesn’t want more Tyler Durden in their lives？ The Fight Club will always be a favorite book of all time。 Sadly the sequel wasn’t able to measure up， while I did enjoy the illustrations and the crazies， nothing can quite compare to the ever talked-about， embedded in pop culture， highly referenced predecessor。 Fight Club 2 started off solid yet got crazier and dare I 3。5⭐️⭐️⭐️✨Weirder than the first but nothing beats the OG Fight Club。 It was a no brainer when I purchased this graphic novel。 Who doesn’t want more Tyler Durden in their lives？ The Fight Club will always be a favorite book of all time。 Sadly the sequel wasn’t able to measure up， while I did enjoy the illustrations and the crazies， nothing can quite compare to the ever talked-about， embedded in pop culture， highly referenced predecessor。 Fight Club 2 started off solid yet got crazier and dare I say messy towards the end。 Come on， Tyler Durden deserves better。 It felt like it wasn’t able to sustain the greatness of the first half。 It was more like a dream sequence， wherein too many things are happening all at once， all the weird stuff triple that and add sappiness for a good measure - that’s Fight Club 2 for you。 I was looking out for wisdom and all that jazz but it was a bit scarce unlike in the first book。 Still an enjoyable read。 。。。more

I couldn't get past the first half of this dumpster fire。 The writing is so dreadful that it made me literally cringe。 I honestly have no idea how shit like this gets published。 I couldn't get past the first half of this dumpster fire。 The writing is so dreadful that it made me literally cringe。 I honestly have no idea how shit like this gets published。 。。。more

This was bad。 I mean really bad。 The only reason I finished it was because it was a short quick read and I was curious to see just how bad it would get。 It got worse。

Awful， this might be Chucks attempt to never be asked to autograph a penis again

Adriana Guerrero ，

Good artwork terrible writing， what upset me most is the Palahniuk character bahhh

Aman Vaniawala ，

Not only does the story lose its essence but it also gets really outlandish; many parts even contradict the story and characters of the first part

Nicole Franklin ，

I adored the final issue， what it had to say and how that idea was realised - but the journey of getting there was tired almost from the beginning。

Scott E ，

Should have been subtitled ‘Fan Service the Graphic Novel’。 Some interesting ideas but poorly executed。 Probably should have only got two stars but the residual love of Fight Club forced me to go to the midline
