Chuck Palahniuk is planning to follow-up his 1996 "Fight Club" book -- and it will arrive as at least one graphic novel, likely more. The original book, of course, was adapted into a movie in 1999, directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. Palahniuk's original announcement fell somewhat under the radar during the craziness that was Comic-Con. He mentioned it during the "Ode to Nerds" panel with fellow writers D.C. Pierson, Patrick Rothfuss, Cory Doctorow, Austin Grossman and Robyn Schneider, according to ChickPalahniuk.net.

DC Comics The cover of the coming comic “Before Watchmen.”
DC Comics is publishing seven new mini-series based on the characters and setting found in the graphic novel “Watchmen,” by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. First serialized from 1986 to 1987, “Watchmen” is as close to a masterpiece as the superhero comic form has seen.
So let’s get this out of the way – DC is shamelessly pillaging a classic, and the fan backlash is inevitable and not unwarranted. But the anger is misplaced.

Marvel The cover of the Ultimate Spider-Man September issue that really launches the new superhero character and story.
Spider-Man has been around since 1962 but this may be his biggest year ever. His wildly successful film franchise is re-relaunching and the sequel has already been scheduled. His enormously expensive, Bono-and-The-Edge-written Broadway musical has been, for better or worse, a national topic for months.
And last week Marvel Comics made waves following the death of Ultimate Spider-Man* by introducing his replacement–a...
