The singer will team up with comic creators David Tischman, Kody Chamberlain and Brian Stelfreeze for the original miniseries, which marks the first occasion that a country artist has been given a comic book alter ego.
Described as a "hard-as-nails adventure story of revenge and redemption", the book has been compared to the films Walking Tall and Billy Jack.
"The McBain character kicks ass and takes names," said writer David Tischman. "But the character also has a compassionate side, and he makes the hard choices few others have the guts to make."
12 Gauge Comics publisher Keven Gardner added: "Working with Trace and his team has been a fantastic experience, and our group of talented creators have given life to the character of Luke McBain; this is a very exciting time for our company."
Luke McBain #1 (of 4) is released in November.
