This lineup of artists will include 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! With even more variant artists to be announced later on down the line.
Malone has a lot to say about the series.
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
The story itself is an original series created by the 9x diamond recording artist, Big Rig will be written by Malone and Adrian Wassel, drawn by Nathan Gooden from Barbaric, Dark knights of Steel, and Brandon Sanderson’s Dark One! Vault describes this series as Evil Dead meets Mad Max: Fury Road as this story takes place in Medieval Europe, The only thing stopping the horde of demons overtaking the continent is a mysterious armored 18-wheeler sent from the heavens.
THe reviews are already coming in with Christopher Yost (Thor Ragnarok, The Mandalorian) saying
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. 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.
Actor, comedian, and writer Patton Oswalt declares
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
Check out the synopsis from the publisher below:
THEY PRAYED FOR A MIRACLE. THEY GOT 25 TONS AND 18 WHEELS OF HOLY WEAPON.
The Dark Ages…Demon hordes plague Europe as Hell invades Earth. The Six Petals, a secret sect of The Knights Templar, are in desperate need of a means to drive back the scourge and turn the tide of the onslaught. 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.
