Meanwhile, it is revealed to Marla that Sebastian's father had been killed in a similar house fire, which financed Sebastian through college. In that time, Tyler created the 'Rize or Die' group and turned Fight Club into a full-on terror group, responsible for war throughout the world. Furthermore, it is revealed that Sebastian's psychiatrist is on Tyler's payroll and had been freeing Tyler for one hour, three times a week, for ten years before Marla permanently liberated him.

The body in the burnt out wreckage of Sebastian and Marla's home turns out to be a stranger (a new recruit for Project Mayhem that, in exchange for Tyler funding his college education, had to be in the top five percent of his class lest he forfeit his life to Tyler). Tyler has other plans and burns down the family's house and apparently kills their son as a result. Marla has grown tired of suburban life, resuming her habit of infiltrating support groups and ultimately resurrects Tyler Durden full time by replacing her husband's medication with placebos so she could have 'an affair with Tyler'. Sebastian works a do-nothing office job, at a military contractor company called 'Rize or Die'. Ten years after the event of the first novel, Sebastian and Marla are married with a son. However, Tyler's disciples work at the mental institution Sebastian is being held in and vow that Tyler will not die so easily. Sebastian, with help from his girlfriend, is able to stop Tyler via a suicide attempt. Sebastian (the narrator from Fight Club) developed an alter personality named Tyler Durden, who starts 'Fight Club' and ultimately 'Project Mayhem' to create chaos upon civilization. Issues TitleĪ recap of the original story (as told in the novel, not the movie) told via flashback while the narrator is in a mental institution following the events of the novel. The series explores Joseph Campbell's concept of the 'second father' as being vital to the hero's journey, which is something that has always fascinated Palahniuk. A teaser was released by Dark Horse Comics for Free Comic Book Day 2015, with Fight Club 2 #1 following in late May of that year. Palahniuk was convinced to continue Fight Club in comics form by fellow novelist Chelsea Cain and comic writers Brian Michael Bendis, Matt Fraction and Kelly Sue DeConnick. Sebastian continues his dysfunctional relationship with Marla and has fallen into the mundane routine of society until Tyler re-emerges to cause chaos. Set ten years after the ending of Fight Club, the sequel is told from the restrained perspective of Tyler Durden as he sits in the subconscious of Sebastian (the name the narrator of the original Fight Club currently uses). Fight Club 2 (also known as Fight Club 2: The Tranquility Gambit) is Chuck Palahniuk's comic book meta-sequel to his 1996 novel Fight Club, with art by Cameron Stewart and covers by David Mack.
