Article Summary

  • Post Malone's Big Rig comic launches from Vault, aiming to rival the success of Keanu Reeves' BRZRKR
  • Features exclusive covers by top artists like Daniel Warren Johnson, Peach Momoko, and Darick Robertson
  • Big Rig is described as Evil Dead meets Mad Max: Fury Road, set in medieval Europe invaded by demons
  • Comic will see limited issues, deluxe variant boxes, direct-to-consumer editions, and a film in development

Vault Comics is very much hoping they might have a BRZRKR on their hands, and have announced the full line of variant covers for the hotly anticipated launch of Post Malone's Big Rig #1. The lineup includes some heavy hitters, including Daniel Warren Johnson, Peach Momoko, and more. An original story created by the 9 x Diamond-recording artist, Big Rig is written by Post Malone and Vault Comics co-owner Adrian Wassel (it's good to be the co-King) and drawn by Nathan Gooden of Barbaric, Brandon Sanderson's Dark One, and Dark Knights of Steel. Big Rig is meant to be 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.

  • ​Cover A – Nathan Gooden
  • Cover B – Maria Wolf Bundle Variant
  • Cover C – 1:10 Corin Howell Bundle Variant
  • Cover D – 1:100 Darick Robertson Bundle Variant
  • Cover E – 1:1000 Peach Momoko Bundle Variant
  • Cover F – 1:10,000 Peach Momoko, one-of-one Diamond Bundle Variant
  • Cover G – 1:10 Daniel Warren Johnson Incentive
  • Cover F – 1: 25 Daniel Warren Johnson Line Art Incentive

The double-sized Post Malone's Big Rig #1 will be published on the 9th of July and goes to FOC in a couple of weeks. Depending on how Post Malone manages to publicise the title to his fanbase and the curious, those higher-number variants will probably be worth a fair bit. Vault is also shipping a Variant Bundle Box with exclusive covers, or at least a chance to get them. Vault will launch the story as a limited single issues series, with direct-to-consumer editions of the graphic novel available for pre-order 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. The solicitation for Big Rig #2 is also in Vault's August 2025 solicits.
