MORE PRAISE FOR BIG RIG

• “The phrase ‘like a bat out of hell’ just feels right here. BIG RIG hits like a ton of bricks from the start and just keeps going. It's an incredible and stunning wild ride. Like with pretty much every book from Vault, this will be one I can't wait to grace my bookshelf with.” — Chris Shehan (The Autumnal, House of Slaughter)

• “Every page of BIG RIG pulsates with danger and surprises. Just when you think you've got BIG RIG figured out, you get side-swiped.” — Mark Russell (Batman: Dark Age, Superman: Space Age)

• “BIG RIG shows Post Malone's ideas are as infectious as his music, while Wassel and Gooden bring their A-games to a hilariously pop pulp idea that's treated with utmost sincerity and care by its creators.” — Tim Seeley (Money Shot, Hack/Slash, Revival, Nightwing)

• “BIG RIG should cement Nathan Gooden as one of the best comic artists ever. Full stop. Each page is gorgeous and dripping with demonic detail. With a story by Post Malone and Adrian Wassel that is all gas and no brakes, BIG RIG is a master class in kick ass. It's a must buy, must read and then must immediately reread.” — DB Andry (Resonant, Creepshow, Denizen)

• “There were about three distinct moments in BIG RIG: Chapter 1 where I sat back, smiled and said, ‘F*** yeah, comics!’ Adrian Wassel and Post Malone have built an exciting, vibrant world that pairs frightening demonic horror with gonzo comics action. And how GOOD does Nathan Gooden look in black and white?! His dramatic visuals leap from the page. F*** YEAH, COMICS!” — John Lees (The Nasty, Sink, Hotell)

• “BIG RIG is a gnarly, muscular, and wild ride--it leaps off the page with kinetic energy, and it's simply fun as hell.” — Michael Moreci (Barbaric)

• “Who hasn’t fantasized about driving a semi through Hell? An adrenaline rush from first page to last, BIG RIG will give you whiplash. You’re gonna need a chiropractor and an exorcist.” — Jaime Castle (Black Badge, Rogue Stars)

• “From page one, you can practically hear BIG RIG roaring right for you. This comic is a high-octane storytelling speed run, lugging a full haul of narrative awesomeness, from the art to the worldbuilding to the characters. Gritty and intricate, BIG RIG packs a killer mix of wicked twists and outrageous visuals. Buckle up, you don’t want to miss the ride.” — Zack Quaintance (critic/journalist)

• “If you like rip-roaring horror with splatter kills and demonic zombies then BIG RIG is the perfect book for you!” — Cody Ziglar (Spider-man: Miles Morales, Futurama, Rick & Morty)

• “I f*cking LOVE IT! It’s like Maximum Overdrive had a baby with Ghost Rider. I’m all in on this demon truck drive from hell.” — Corin Howell (Lilith)

• “Every page is pedal to the metal. BIG RIG is like Evil Dead and Roadhouse made sweet, sweet love.” — Rhett C. Bruno (The Roach, Black Badge)

• “The concept, story and execution of BIG RIG is so wonderfully stupendous that it'll leave you feeling like you've just been hit by a ten tonne truck of fun.” — John J. Pearson (Mindset, The Department of Truth, Blue in Green)

• “Malone’s concept for BIG RIG is one of the most fun, audacious, and original I’ve seen in comics in a long time. It combines everything you love about those glorious mash-up genre yarns of yore with real stakes and the relevant setting of a world in existential crisis, on the brink. Wassel has long been a prodigy with story and it is a joy to see him roll up his sleeves and get his hands greasy with this one. Nathan Gooden continues to be top-tier as well, bringing drama and spectacle and seamlessness in a way that makes BIG RIG so much more than the sum of its already badass parts. A book that screams COMICS ARE GREAT from its tattered battle banners.” — Christopher Cantwell (Iron Man, Thor, Halt & Catch Fire, The Terror)

• “BIG RIG starts at a wild-eyed sprint and just picks up speed as it goes. A multi-car collision of fantasy, horror and action, Gooden draws the hell out of everything thrown at him like it was nothing at all. None of us are prepared for wherever Malone and Wassel are taking us, but it’s going to be bloody nuts.” — Chris Sebela (Fantastic Four, Captain Marvel, High Crimes)

• “BIG RIG is the perfect combination of surrealism, frenetic action, and blasphemy. If the book of Revelation were written to be a grindhouse movie, this would be it! BIG RIG is more than its big ideas, this book drips with craft. Post Malone, Adrian Wassel, Nathan Gooden, and Jim Campbell have created a fresh take on familiar themes and I can't wait to read more!” — Jon Tsuei (RUNLOVEKILL, Sera and the Royal Stars, Narrative Lead at 31st Union)

• “BIG RIG is an action-horror masterclass that quickly pours on gasoline and lights it with a cigarette to become a TRUCKIN' EPIC!” — Dan McMahon (editor/journalist, Fangoria, AIPT, CBR)

• “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)

• “Taking the highway to hell has never been more of a ride! Malone, Wassel and Gooden's demon-fueled BIG RIG doesn't hit the brakes once!” — Cavan Scott (Star Wars: High Republic, Gwenpool, Shadow Service)

• “Insane, profane, spectacular. BIG RIG feels like Sam Raimi on steroids. Halfway through the first chapter I was like—wait, what the f*ck? Incredible art with action paced so well that you hear every sound effect in your head and feel the engine rumbling in your hands. Plus larger than life character work. BIG RIG is big fun.” — Eliot Rahal (Hysteria, Bleed Them Dry, Hot Lunch Special)

• “A blasphemous hellride. A wild, violent story delivered with utter sincerity and unexpected heart.” — Lonnie Nadler (The Sickness, Little Nightmares)

• “BIG RIG was a blast! I went in blind, purposefully so, beyond knowing the creative team--because I know these are folks who can cook. And that couldn't have paid off more! This is a gorgeous, hard driving blockbuster the likes of Preacher or 100 Bullets! It's an all-new story, of course--but the raw rebel energy of the heyday of Vertigo is there from page one. This is all about the cursed road and a cursed hero rolling on eighteen wheels above it, a righteous trucker bringing devastation to demons across the continent! It's a hell of a launch from Post Malone and the folks at Vault--and I can't wait for the next chapter!” — Steve Orlando (Batman and Robin Eternal, Wonder Woman, Scarlet Witch, Martian Manhunter)

• "Gloriously unhinged. Wassel, Malone, & Gooden put the pedal to the death metal." — Daniel Kibblesmith (TV & Comics Writer)

• “An anarchic, anachronistic spray of gore, beautiful abomination and pulse-accelerating demonology. Behold the unclean birth of a new genre: all hail Dark-Ages Grindhouse! Praise the lord and pass the gasoline!” — Si Spurrier (The Flash, John Constantine: Hellblazer)
