    Interview: Co-writer Adrian Wassel and artist Nathan Gooden about Big Rig #1 July 9 - FOC June 9

    1. What was the spark that lit the fire for Big Rig?
      How did this story evolve from Post Malone’s original idea into the medieval demon-slaying road trip we see in Chapter 1?
    2. How did the collaboration with Post Malone work on a day-to-day level?
      Was he sending notes from the studio? Storyboarding demon fights on tour?
    3. The idea of an 18-wheeler crashing into medieval Europe is wild in the best way.
      How did you work to ground that concept emotionally and thematically?
    4. What makes her essential to the story, and how does she play off Trucker?
    5. What kind of research or inspiration shaped the design of The Rig itself?
      Did you draw from real-life trucking culture, heavy metal, religious iconography, or all of the above?
    6. This book is described as Evil Dead meets Fury Road.
      What’s your approach to balancing horror, action, and dark comedy on the page?
    7. Nathan, your art often feels like it’s in motion even when the panels are still.
      What visual challenges or opportunities did Big Rig present compared to something like Barbaric?
    8. What was most important to you both in setting the tone for this first chapter?
    ⚙️ Segment Break: "Load It or Leave It"

    Purpose: A rapid-fire segment where they say whether the following elements are "loaded" onto The Rig (i.e., present in the series) or "left behind" (not part of the story). This lets you transition into a worldbuilding breakdown in a fun way.

    You say the element, they say "Load It" or "Leave It" — and optionally expand briefly.

    Examples:

    • Romance
    • Chainsaws
    • Holy relics
    • Time travel
    • Interdimensional truck stops
    • Talking weapons
    • Demon puke
    • Flashbacks
    • Post Malone cameos
    • God

    Wrap up the segment by picking one they said “Load It” on and asking them to expand:
    “Okay, you said ‘Load It’ to talking weapons. Tell us more.”

    Final Questions
    1. (Fun one) If Trucker had a mixtape in the Rig’s cab, what three songs would be on it — and does Post have to be on there at least once?

What drew you to the exquisite corpse method as a structural framework—and how did it shape your writing process across collaborators?2. You’ve said before that horror lets you explore personal fears in metaphorical ways—what fear sits at the heart of Exquisite Corpses for you personally?3. This project is filled with shifting tones and visual voices—how did you maintain thematic cohesion across multiple artists and chapters?4. You’ve tackled horror through multiple lenses—from psychological horror in The Nice House on the Lake to body horror in Something is Killing the Children. Where does Exquisite Corpses fall on your personal horror spectrum?5. You’ve spoken about burnout and choosing joy in your writing—did this collaborative process reawaken anything in you creatively?6. There’s a class warfare element baked into the DNA of Exquisite Corpses. How important was it for you to make that commentary explicit rather than just subtext?7. You’re known for big ideas in genre fiction. Was there ever a version of Exquisite Corpses that could’ve been a prose project or TV pitch—or was comics always the only way this could work?8. What’s one element in Exquisite Corpses—a character, twist, or scene—that you’re most excited for readers to finally experience, but can’t say anything about yet?
