#68: Matthew Klein and Morgan Beem

This week on the Capes and Tights Podcast, Justin Soderberg welcomes Matthew Klein and Morgan Beem to discuss their comic book series Crashing. Written by Klein, illustrated by Beem (Swamp Thing, Wonder Woman Black & Gold), colors by Triona Farrell (Rogues Gallery, Shadow Service), and lettering by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou (Red Sonja, There’s Something Wrong With Patrick Todd), Crashing first released on September 21, 2022. The third issue hits your local comic book shop today, November 16. Rose Osler is a specialist. Her focus? Patients with Powers… at a hospital with a No Powered Patients policy. When a battle between Boston’s protectors and destroyers erupts, Rose is trapped between saving the city’s beloved hero by day and greatest villain at night. Except Rose could become a casualty when she’s forced to risk her recovery. As Rose pushes past her limits to save everyone else, will she be able to save herself? Klein is a comic book writer by night and sales manager for the US Comics Market at Penguin Random House. He currently resides in New York City, N.Y. Beem is a freelance artist working predominately in comics and illustration. She currently lives in Denver, Colo. and is part of a local professional comic studio called Jam House. Like your host Justin Soderberg, who works as Creative Director for Orono Brewing during the day, Beem has also done artwork for a brewery at Breckenridge Brewery.
