Unlike the other Free Comic Book day comics I read this year, nothing about this one grabbed me, and I say that as a huge fan of [b:Fight Club|5759|Fight Club|Chuck Palahniuk|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1357128997s/5759.jpg|68729] and a number of other earlier works of [a:Chuck Palahniuk|2546|Chuck Palahniuk|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1391203076p2/2546.jpg].

Θα είμαι ειλικρινής: ΔΕΝ έχω διαβάσει το "[b:Fight Club|5759|Fight Club|Chuck Palahniuk|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1357128997s/5759.jpg|68729]", το μυθιστόρημα που γέννησε την ομώνυμη κινηματογραφική ταινία (ούτε αυτήν έχω δει, απ' ότι θυμάμαι), αλλά η ιδέα ότι η συνέχεια της ιστορίας ενός βιβλίου θα είναι μια ιστορία εικονογραφήφησης (κόμιξ) μ' έκανε ν' αγοράσω αυτό το μηδενικό τεύχος της σειράς.
Οι πρώτες εντυπώσεις μου είναι άριστες. Έχω την αίσθησι πως θα είναι ωραία ιστορία, με σύνθετους χαρακτήρες, κι ελπίζω πως θα μπορή να σταθή μόνη της, χωρίς να χρειάζεται κάποιος να γνωρίζει το μυθιστόρημα. Ανυπομονώ για τα επόμενα τεύχη!!!
I'll be honest: I have NOT read "[b:Fight Club|5759|Fight Club|Chuck Palahniuk|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1357128997s/5759.jpg|68729]", the novel that gave birth to the homonymous cinema film (which I haven't watch neither, if I remember well), but the idea that the story of a fiction novel continues in the story of a comic book made me buy this issue zero of the series.
My first impressions are excellent; I've the feeling that it'll be a nice story, with a set of complex characters, and I hope that it'll stand on its own, without a need for knowing the novel. I look forward for the next issues!!!

Nice
Great choice for my first read of the year! Short and sweet and has me ready for the next bit. The added bonus of The Strain being included, was nice, too.

Picks up where the novel ended. Seems to be trying to do several things at the same time:
- to sum up everything in a hurry in a short number of pages, for those that did not read the book or did not see the movie
- to bridge mediums
- to create narrative alternatives to go to, going back in time, setting patterns
- creating a style
For now, I am giving this a chance.
The movie and the book, for me are two very completelly different brilliant master pieces. With different choices, even plot wise. And most of all in terms of atmosphere and style. They both work.
This first issue seems rather juvenile. But I concede that it might be my inflated expectations (from reading very recently the novel) and finding out that Palahniuk did write the graphic novel too. Let's read on.
edit:
(this is not a first issue, it is a #0. and just going through the first few pages of the #1, it's clear that I was to tough on this. #1 bravely goes beyond what had been done before)

I saw the movie a few years ago so I'm thinking I should read the book? This single issue was enjoyable though :)

4 stars for The Goon. I wasn't terribly impressed by the other stories in this.

Interesting. I always enjoy Palahniuk's writing, but I'm almost more excited about David Mack's involvement with Fight Club 2.

This one had a bit less excitement, but we are seeing much more of what Tyler Durden has been accomplishing during all of this time. Not so much action or surprises this issue, but still good!
