This week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, we’re joined by Vault Comics’ Adrian Wassel and Nathan Gooden to talk all about Big Rig—their new high-octane series co-created with none other than Post Malone. Out July 9th (FOC June 9th), we dig into the origins of the concept (yes, an 18-wheeler crashes into medieval Europe), how the creative team brought emotional depth to a story full of demons and chainsaws, and why Big Rig blends Evil Dead vibes with Fury Road energy. Plus, they talk about Post’s love for Barbaric, Michael Bay’s early involvement, and what’s next for the series if it continues beyond volume one.
And as always, we share our top comic book picks of the week!
