The golden rule of the Fight Club has been broken. Everyone is talking about the Fight Club.

Best-selling author Chuck Palahniuk announced Monday the release of a 10-issue comic book sequel of his highly acclaimed novel, "Fight Club".

Practically 20 years after the publication of the first book in 1996, Palahniuk told fans that the sequel will be available by 2015 under Dark Horse Comics.

The interior art of the graphic novel will be designed by Cameron Stewart while David Mack will take charge of the covers.  

Describing the sequel as "dark and messy", Palahniuk shares that Fight Club 2 is set "10 years after the seeming end of Tyler Durden."

"Nowadays, Tyler is telling the story, lurking inside Jack, and ready to launch a comeback. Jack is oblivious. Marla is bored. Their marriage has run aground on the rocky coastline of middle-aged suburban boredom. It's only when their little boy disappears, kidnapped by Tyler, that Jack is dragged back into the world of mayhem," the author adds.

"Tyler is something that maybe has been around for centuries and is not just this aberration that's popped into his mind," Palahniuk reveals.

In an interview with USA today, Dark Horse Comics gives readers a glimpse of the plot.

"Fight Club 2 takes place alternately in the future and the past. It picks up a decade after the ending of his original book, where the protagonist [Tyler Durden] is married to equally problematic Marla Singer and has a 9-year-old son named Junior, though the narrator is failing his son in the same way his dad failed him."

The 1999 movie adaptation of the first novel included A-listers Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter, and Edward Norton. Sources claim that both Pitt and Norton are still engaged with contractual obligations on said the release date.
