Post Malone’s ‘Big Rig’ Graphic Novel Combines ‘Evil Dead’ and ‘Mad Max’ in a Medieval Horror Adventure, Movie in the Works
Post Malone, the Grammy-nominated singer, has teamed up with Vault Comics for an exciting new project—a horror graphic novel called ‘Big Rig,’ described as a thrilling mix of ‘Evil Dead’ and ‘Mad Max: Fury Road,’ set in medieval Europe.
‘Big Rig’ is based on an idea by Post Malone himself, with the singer co-writing the story alongside Vault Comics’ editor-in-chief Adrian Wassel. Vault co-founder Nathan Gooden, known for his work on’ Barbaric,’ is illustrating the novel.
The story is set during the Dark Ages and follows an epic battle against demon hordes invading Europe. The story’s central characters are a secret sect of the Knights Templar called the Six Petals, who are struggling to defend against the demons.
In their desperate attempt to fight back, the Six Petals discover a strange, powerful weapon: a fully loaded tractor trailer, called ‘The Rig,’ which crashes to Earth. The twist? The only person left standing after the crash is a former priest, excommunicated from the Six Petals. This mysterious man, now known only as Trucker, will take charge of the fight against Hell itself, using The Rig to battle demons and protect Europe.
This horror-packed graphic novel is set to excite fans of action and horror alike, with its blend of medieval fantasy and high-octane, demon-slaying adventure. Fans of ‘Evil Dead’ and ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ will find themselves immersed in this action-packed tale
In an exciting announcement, Vault Comics revealed that the first chapter of ‘Big Rig’ will be available exclusively on Free Comic Book Day 2025, which takes place on May 3. The event is one of the biggest celebrations of comic culture, and fans can look forward to getting their hands on the first part of the story for free, available at participating comic shops.
Post Malone shared his excitement about the project, saying, “This is going to kick ass. It’s amazing working with Vault and Michael Bay. Turning this idea into what we have has been unbelievable. The team has been crushing it, and I can’t believe we get to be a part of Free Comic Book Day.”
Vault Comics, known for their innovative work, has previously partnered with big names in music, such as Metallica, Def Leppard, and Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, to create comic book series inspired by music and musicians.
The movie adaptation of ‘Big Rig’ is also in the works, with Platinum Dunes, the production company run by Michael Bay and Brad Fuller, taking charge. Platinum Dunes is famous for producing horror remakes like ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,’ ‘Friday the 13th, ‘and ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street,’ and they’ve also produced successful films like ‘A Quiet Place’ and ‘The Purge.’
