Fight Club 2
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.
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). Sebastian continues his dysfunctional relationship with Marla and has fallen into the mundane routine of society until Tyler re-emerges to cause chaos.

It follows the experiences of an unnamed protagonist struggling with insomnia. Inspired by his doctor’s exasperated remark that insomnia is not suffering, the protagonist finds relief by impersonating a seriously ill person in several support groups. Then he meets a mysterious man named Tyler Durden and establishes an underground fighting club as radical psychotherapy.
“It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.”
