Descripción editorial
Evil Dead meets Mad Max: Fury Road in Post Malone’s BIG RIG, a “batsh*t, sulfur-soaked, pedal-to-the-metal gorefest” (Matt Dinniman, Dungeon Crawler Carl) 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.
THEY PRAYED FOR A MIRACLE. THEY GOT 25 TONS AND 18 WHEELS OF HOLY WEAPON.
Post Malone’s BIG RIG.
The Dark Ages… Demon hordes plague Europe as Hell invades Earth. The Six Petals, a secret sect of The Knights Templar, pray for a holy weapon to drive back the scourge. What crashes to earth instead is The Rig, a fully loaded tractor trailer. In the aftermath of its arrival, the only man left standing is an enigmatic former priest. He will become Trucker and lead the fight against Hell—with 25 tons and 18 wheels of demon-slaying machine.
Created by Post Malone. Written by Post Malone and Adrian Wassel. Drawn by Barbaric co-creator and Dark Knights of Steel artist Nathan Gooden

“I love the art, attitude and characters.” – Michael Bay (Producer) commenting on BIG RIG
"BIG RIG is the grimdark combo of SPAWN and CONVOY, a demonic ripsnorter that starts faster than you think it will and keeps driving." — Adam Cesare, USA TODAY Bestselling author of Clown in a Cornfield
"A batshit, sulfur-soaked, pedal-to-the-metal gorefest with a killer concept and even more killer execution." — Matt Dinniman (Dungeon Crawler Carl)
“The surprise break-out indie comic of the year.” — Screenrant
“For anyone in love with legendary cult classics like Army of Darkness and Evil Dead, this is … for you." — Nicholas Eames (Kings of the Wyld, Barbaric)
“Gloriously unhinged. Wassel, Malone, & Gooden put the pedal to the death metal." — Daniel Kibblesmith (TV & Comics Writer)
“This is the most metal fucking thing I’ve ever read. 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. Post, Adrian and Nathan have done something incredible here." — Christopher Yost (Thor: Ragnarok, The Mandalorian)
“I wish I’d thought of this.” — Daniel Warren Johnson (Transformers, Do A Power Bomb, Murder Falcon, Wonder Woman: Dead Earth) about BIG RIG
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With gore caking its grill and devil's blood boiling in the tank, the heaven-sent 18-wheeler starring in musician Malone's antic and enthusiastically lowbrow metal-as-metal-gets comics debut mows down demon hordes in a besieged medieval Europe. It's driven by a holy roller sporting scraggly sideburns, a trucker's cap, and a tragic backstory. Known now only as Trucker (formerly John), the driver antihero hails from a Templar order that somehow boasts a working-class road-warrior division. How exactly Trucker goes from excommunicated priest to ramming this war-truck packed with 21st-century weapons into fiends outside walled cities is not immediately explained. The script surges along through the end-of-days action, inviting readers to roll with it. While the creators make a minor mystery out of their conceit, the focus remains on the mayhem at present. Artist Gooden (Barbaric) excels at toothy beasts, vehicular mayhem, and the pleasures of a winsome Viking witch greeting the demonic host with a chainsaw ("Come get some, you maggot-hearted filth!"). There are promising characterizations within the ensemble that forms around Trucker—and in their tense confrontations with hell's princes and generals. The episodic storytelling loses some momentum in late chapters. Still, readers who light up at the thought of a rig crashing into Lucifer will relish the frenzy.
