PRESS RELEASE
Post Malone, Vault Comics, and Platinum Dunes have announced that Post’s Malone’s Big Rig will release as a special limited series of comics available only in comic book stores. The double-sized Big Rig issue#1 will debut in stores on July 9th, 2025, with subsequent issues released monthly.
Every issue of Big Rig will be released with special, randomly distributed variant covers, including hyper-limited one-of-one variants from the industry’s most popular and influential artists. This stellar lineup of artists includes Daniel Warren Johnson, Peach Momoko, Tula Lotay, Maria Wolf, Jim Mahfood, Darick Robertson, Corin Howell, Dan Panosian, Luana Vecchio, and Big Rig series artist, Nathan Gooden. Additional variant artists will be announced in the weeks to come.
“Big Rig is a crazy comic about three unlikely heroes battling wicked demons in medieval times using a massive eighteen-wheeler truck, and it’s pretty fucking awesome,” said Post Malone.
An original story created by the 9x diamond recording artist, 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). Big Rig is 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.
Early buzz for Post Malone’s Big Rig is already glowing.
“This is the most metal fucking thing I’ve ever read,” added Christopher Yost, writer of Thor: Ragnarok and The Mandalorian. “If Army of Darkness, Big Trouble in Little China and, I don’t know, Ozzy Osborne all got drunk and procreated, you’d have Big Rig. The ideas are big and loud and messed up, the art is somehow even more messed up but gorgeous at the same time… Post, Adrian and Nathan have done something incredible here.”
“Keep the hammer down and the hell fires burning — Post, Wassel, and Gooden deliver one of the wildest man vs. demon takes in many a gibbous moon”said legendary actor, comedian, and writer, Patton Oswalt.
“Furious and diabolically fun!” said Sean Goron Murphy (Batman: White Knight, Zorro: Man of the Dead). “Watch out, your head will snap back with a devilish grin when BIG RIG hits the gas.”
Big Rig continues a hot streak for Post Malone, who recently headlined Coachella and is about to embark on his BIG ASS Stadium Tour.
Working closely with Post Malone, Vault will launch the story as a limited single issues series, with direct-to-consumer editions of the graphic novel available for pre-order beginning in May, and shipping in October, and a retail release in early 2026. Meanwhile, Post Malone, Platinum Dunes, and Vault will concurrently develop a feature film adaptation of the story.
Fans everywhere can check out Big Rig as part of Free Comic Book Day, and can pick up the double-sized first issue of Big Rig at their local comic shop on Wednesday, July 9th, 2025. The full synopsis for Big Rig #1 can be read below:
