Texas rapper Post Malone has teamed up with Vault Comics for Big Rig, a graphic novel described as Evil Dead meets Mad Max: Fury Road.
Platinum Dunes, the production banner run by Michael Bay and Brad Fuller, is also involved with the comic, and is working with Malone and Vault on developing a feature adaptation.
Based on an idea by Malone, Big Rig is written by the singer and Adrian Wassel, and is being drawn by Nathan Gooden.
Plot:
Set in Europe during the Dark Ages, the story sees hordes from Hell invading Europe when the Six Petals, a secret sect of the Knights Templar, pray to God to drive back the demonic 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 known simply as Trucker and will lead the fight against Hell behind the wheel of a demon-slaying machine. The tagline is, “They prayed for a miracle. They got 25 tons and 18 wheels of holy weapon.”
