Of course, Palahniuk being on board would mean nothing if the art was terrible. That's the fate that befalls many over comics that continue on from or adapt existing stories: they'll either involve some bottom-draw pencillers, because the publisher blew most of their production budget on the license in the first place; or else it'll be like Marvel's current Star Wars book, which tries to capture the likenesses of the movie stars, and ends up looking...weird. Again, not a problem with Fight Club 2, because it's carrying on from the book instead of the film so there will be no ham-fisted attempts to make cartoon characters look like celebrated Hollywood actors, only for them to appear more as static, posed mannequins of Madame Tussaud's quality. Palahniuk has got a heck of a collaborator with Cameron Stewart, a comics industry veteran currently working on the revitalised, highly acclaimed Batgirl series. Stewart's style skews a little more stylised than most, but there's some grim realism beneath the exaggerated mannerisms.
