Post Malone has teamed up with Vault Comics for Big Rig, a horror graphic novel described as Evil Dead meets Mad Max: Fury Road in medieval Europe.
Variety reports that Platinum Dunes, the production banner run by Michael Bay and Brad Fuller, is working with Malone and Vault on to develop a feature adaptation.
Based on an idea by Malone, Big Rig is co-written by the Grammy-nominated singer and Vault editor-in-chief Adrian Wassel. Vault co-founder Nathan Gooden (Barbaric) illustrates.
Set during the Dark Ages, the story sees demon hordes invading Europe. The Six Petals, a secret sect of the Knights Templar, are in desperate need of a means to drive back the scourge. 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.
The first chapter will be available exclusively at comic shops participating in Free Comic Book Day 2025 on May 3.
“This is going to kick ass,” Malone said in a statement. “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 has previously worked on comics with such musical acts as Metallica, Def Leppard, and Fall Out Boy‘s Pete Wentz.
Platinum Dunes gained attention for their remakes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. They’ve since produced the likes of A Quiet Place, The Purge, and the upcoming Drop.
