Posted on by Leave a comment

Netflix has announced it will be adapting Vault’s hit fantasy series, Barbaric, as a new episodic series. Barbaric is co-created by writer Michael Moreci and artist Nathan Gooden; Gooden is also a co-founder of Vault Comics. Debuting in 2021, Barbaric rapidly secured its place as a critical-darling and fan-favorite. As of 2026, Barbaric is currently on its fifth volume, and is one of the best-selling fantasy comics of the past decade.

Barbaric follows Owen, a bloodthirsty barbarian and his drunk axe as they roam an untamed, mythic realm battling supernatural cultists, hungry giants, creatures of the night, and more in their quest to somehow, amidst all this chaos, do some good.

Academy Award nominee Sheldon Turner will co-showrun and write the Netflix series along with Robert Rovner, who is best known for his showrunning and writing work on CW series Supergirl.

Also on the exec producing team are Jennifer Klein, Turner’s partner at the duo’s 100% Productions, Barry Jossen and Tana Jamieson for A+E Studios, TV veteran Javier Grillo-Marxuach, and F.J. DeSanto and Damian Wassel for Vault Comics. Actor Sam Claflin, along with Luke Carroll, and Michael Stevenson, are exec producing via Soft Claw Productions.

Vault and Post Malone tease Big Rig, Book 2: Damned

Posted on by

Vault and Post Malone have teased the return of the Big Rig comic series in 2026 with Big Rig, Book 2: Damned. Vault have released a piece of teaser art by Nathan Gooden, hinting at what’s to come as the Rig’s journey continues. 

In the next chapter of Big Rig, Trucker, Edda, and Batu have put Lucifer and the Princess of Hell in the rearview mirror, but the bloodshed is far from finished. Satan has sent a new general to lead his invasion. As Belphegor advances through Europe on a mission to raise Hell, the Rig chases, only to end up on a collision course with an unexpected enemy: invaders from the north capitalizing on the chaos. Now, it’s a war on two fronts. And what’s worse, both enemies possess weapons that make the Rig look less like the miracle our heroes need and more like a deathtrap. Will the vehicle keeping them alive be their doom? All depends on how well Trucker can drive.

Big Rig is written by Post Malone and Adrian Wassel, drawn by Nathan Gooden, colored by Eisner-nominee Der-Shing Helmer, lettered by Jim Campbell, and designed by Tim Daniel.

Trucker is behind the wheel. A crazy witch named Edda rides shotgun. And her sworn protector, Batu, mans the 50 Cal. One Prince of Hell is dead, but they’ve got more to go. If they can turn Leviathan to mince meat, maybe they’ll have time to regroup and deal with the spies watching their every move…before Minos’ army arrives.

Vault announces Barbaric: The Black Knight with a new Barbaric Arc to Follow

Posted on by

Vault Comics has announced the long-awaited return of the smash-hit comic Barbaric, with a brand new one-shot, Barbaric: The Black Knight, written by Barbaric co-creator Michael Moreci, drawn by Guilherme Balbi, colored by Fabi Marques, lettered by Jim Campbell, and designed by Tim Daniel. Then in December 2025, Barbaric will return for its fifth full arc with artist and co-creator Nathan Gooden returning to art duties.     

Barbaric: The Black Knight is an over-length one-shot featuring Flail, the talking…well, Flail! Deadheart, Serra, and Ka return after their (mis)adventures in Queen of Swords to defeat the evil witch Doxon once and for all. Too bad a familiar face…on a spiked ball at the end of a vicious weapon wielded by an ancient knight…has other plans. Someone isn’t making it out of this one-shot in one piece, so you should probably read it—IF you want to keep calling yourself a Barbaric fan.

Barbaric: The Black Knight will hit store shelves this October and will feature incredible variant covers by fan favorite artists like Nathan Gooden, Luana Vecchio, Corin Howell, and more.

The Dark Ages…Demon hordes plague Europe as Hell invades Earth. The Six Petals, a secret sect of The Knights Templar, are in desperate need of a means to drive back the scourge and turn the tide of the onslaught. 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 Trucker and lead the fight against Hell behind the wheel of a demon-slaying machine.
