Given how deeply and consistently Palahniuk and Stewart are forcing us to re-conceptualize how we look at the comic page and engage with the fictional world on the other side, it may in fact be time to begin discussing it in the same terms as The Invisibles.Especially given that Stewart was the artist Grant Morrison called upon to redraw the penultimate sequence of that series.

"Fight Club 2" #5 is the issue that amps up an already engaging and complex story, indicating this sequel just might be on par with the original. Read Full Review

Palahniuk proves that you don't have to choose between style and substance in this grimace inducing love letter to anarchy. Read Full Review

Fight Club 2 #5 feels surprisingly short, and I'm sure that's because it consists entirely of short sequences featuring its lead characters. The mystery of what happened to Sebastian's son feels almost like an afterthought, because that's not really the kind of story Palahniuk is putting together here. Instead, he's trying to liven up the over-serious recollections of his pitch-black franchise, trying to inject a little bit more of a punk humor into his now over-serious fanbase. It's going to be a painful job, and one that might not stick on the first try. But Palahniuk seems more than willing to hit us again and again until the lesson sticks. Read Full Review

The halfway point to Fight Club 2 highlights one of the concerns some have had with the story since the beginning, in that receiving the information piecemeal diminishes the overall impact of the story. To date, the method of delivery has delivered us a gripping series of reasons to believe that Palahniuk has been the master of his own creation's destiny, although this might be the first time that he shows some of the contempt he has for what that creation has become as well.

Beyond that, it's almost more of the same " Sebastian and Tyler are at odds with each other, with Sebastian medicating himself into oblivion. What was a neat parlor trick of fourth wall breaks with the pills has become tired and cheap even as Stewart's cartoonish style continues to serve its purpose. Like my complaints about previous issues, there's very little forward momentum as we hit the halfway point of the series and worse, it's becoming formulaic. Resting on nostalgia is only going to take this sequel so far and at this point it's just dragging a beaten space monkey behind it" Read Full Review

Sebastian/Tyler is supposed one of the Rize or Die members who opens his veins to vandalize art, though there is little doubt that he will return in the next issue just as he returned relatively unscathed after a savage beating at the end of Fight Club 2 #4. There are a lot of things happening in this series, and there have been a few issues with moments of promise, but overall its hard to figure out why readers should care, unless they are hardcore Tyler Durden fans. Fight Club 2 #5 goes in a pointlessdirection that doesnt pay off and indicates that there may not be much of an overarching vision to this sequel. Read Full Review
