Post Malone’s “Big Rig” Isn’t Just a Comic, It’s a Highway Through His Soul

Rob Sheffield

One man. One truck. And a world gone straight to hell. That is the wild new road Post Malone is driving down. Known for selling over 80 million records and topping charts with “Circles” and “Rockstar,” Post shocked fans when he rolled into New York City Comic-Con, the country’s biggest pop culture event where fans of comics, movies, and games gather every year. He was there for one reason, to debut his first-ever comic, Post Malone’s Big Rig, made with Vault Comics. It was his only appearance of the weekend, and when he showed up, the energy in the room flipped. There, Post smiled like a kid who had just revealed his wildest dream.

There is something strangely beautiful about a story born from chaos. In Big Rig, the main character is an ex-priest who loses his family and faith, only to find a haunted truck waiting for him. When he puts on a dusty old hat, he becomes “The Trucker,” a man who drives through a demon-filled Europe, destroying evil mile after mile. His arms are covered with tattoos, ones that look a lot like Post’s own. It felt like Post turning pain into purpose.

Fans lost it. One said the trucker was “Post fighting his own demons.” Another called it “like a movie waiting to happen.” The art is mostly black and white, splashed with bits of color that glow like headlights in the dark. Some fans missed the color, but others loved the bold choice. One viewer wrote that “the story does not need color, Post already brings it.”

The Comic-Con reveal felt like the engine starting. Then came the first full review of Post Malone’s Big Rig and it was like watching the truck speed into motion. The reviewer called it a “double-sized thrill ride through hell.” The deeper they went into the story, the clearer it became that Post was involved in every creative detail, from the design of the main character to the tone of the dialogue. He was not just a celebrity name on the cover; he was shaping the story with his own ideas and imagination.

The reviewer described how the ex-priest becomes something more than human when he climbs into that truck. Along the road, he meets a witch who lost her family and a warrior sworn to protect her. The story’s art caught everyone’s attention, it is mostly black and white, with bits of color used only to highlight key moments. Fans compared it to manga because of that simple yet dramatic style, where light and shadow tell the story more than words ever could.

Post Malone has always been more than a singer. From a teenage dreamer recording songs in Texas to breaking records and now creating comics, he keeps surprising people. Every turn of his career feels like another song, another story. Follow Post Malone on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube and maybe keep your eyes on the horizon. If Big Rig tells us anything, it is that Post is nowhere near his last stop.
