Post Malone Brings His ‘Big Rig’ To Vault Comics This Spring
by Olly MacNamee
Multi-award winning recording artist Post Malone, is the latest musician to turn his eye towards comics with the announcement of Big Rig original graphic novel from Vault Comics, and Platinum Dunes. And you can grab a look at the first chapter this coming Free Comic Book Day on Saturday May 3rd, 2025. Plus, a preview today.
Big Rig is written by Post Malone and Adrian Wassel, and drawn by Nathan Gooden (Barbaric, Brandon Sanderson’s Dark One, Dark Knights of Steel). The first chapter will be released on Free Comic Book Day 2025.
“THEY PRAYED FOR A MIRACLE. THEY GOT 25 TONS AND 18 WHEELS OF HOLY WEAPON.
“The Dark Ages…Demon hordes plague Europe as Hell invades Earth. The Six Petals, a secret sect of The Knights Templar, are in desperate need of a means to drive back the scourge and turn the tide of the onslaught. What crashes to earth is The Rig, a fully loaded tractor trailer. In the aftermath of its arrival, the only man left standing is an enigmatic former priest excommunicated from The Six Petals. He will become Trucker and lead the fight against Hell behind the wheel of a demon-slaying machine.
Evil Dead meets Mad Max: Fury Road in this story set in medieval Europe, where the only thing standing in the way of the horde of demons infesting the continent is a mysterious armored 18-wheeler seemingly sent from the heavens.”
Oh, and apparently alongside this graphic novel we are also to get a feature film with Post Malone, Platinum Dunes, and Vault working with together with director Michael Bay on a big screen adaption.
Malone states:
“This is going to kick ass. It’s amazing working with Vault and Michael Bay. Turning this idea into what we have is unbelievable. The team has been crushing it and I can’t believe we get to be a part of Free Comic Book Day. Enjoy Chapter 1. There’s so much more to come.”
Michael Bay added:
“I love the art, attitude and characters. Also I am excited to work with Post Malone and have our creative worlds collide.”
The complete graphic novel will be available later in 2025, with a release date to be announced. And once we hear anything we’ll be sure to let you all know.
