We have an exclusive first look at Crashing #3, out this week, November 16th, from IDW Publishing. If you haven’t been reading this series, you’ve been missing out. Writer and creator Matthew Klein had this to say about the issue:
We reach the turning point in the series and Rose drives right through a crossroads! Up until now Rose has convinced herself that every risk she’s taken to save lives has been justified…including relapsing after being seven years sober. Now, we take away every pretense she has used, every coping mechanism she thought would shield her, and force her to confront an unspeakable secret. There’s nothing quite like pushing your protagonist to the limit and by the last page of issue three, readers will see just how far Rose can be pushed.
Check out the full details of the issue and get a look below!

When you have to carry the world on your shoulders, you sometimes feel like you’re all alone. It’s hard enough that life throws haymakers at you, but you also have to deal with things you don’t like to do. Many people don’t like their jobs, and many regret the choices they’ve made in life that stick with them.
People who are crushed under that pressure are more common than most would admit. It this those who carry their water regardless of the weight that everyone admires. It is their fortitude that we look for the hidden secrets to. In Crashing #1, we find one such protagonist who must, in essence, save the world.
We meet Rose Osler, a a doctor who specializes in patients with super powers, and we catch her on one such day, when everything has gone awry. The reader soon finds out about her back story, where she had a hard home life, was a drug addict and have a hard time maintaining relationships. Her current home life is in even worst shape as she lies to her husband. By the issue’s end, we find out that she runs an underground clinic with a twist to who the patients are.
Overall, Crashing #1 is an interesting premise that struggles to get on its feet in its debut. The story by Klein is intriguing. The art by the creative team is amazing. Altogether, despites a few stumbling blocks, the story shows some real promise.

IDW Publishing has announced the launch of the five-part comic book miniseries Crashing, written by Matthew Klein and illustrated by Morgan Beem, with color by Triona Farrell, and lettering by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. Part Nurse Jackie and part The Boys, Crashing #1 will premiere in September and will be the third title released in IDW’s upcoming slate of original comics debuting throughout 2022 and beyond.
Less than ten years into her rehabilitation, recovering addict Rose Osler is one of a handful of doctors in the United States who specialize in treating “Powered individuals,” human beings imbued with a range of incredible—and according to some, fundamentally dangerous—superhuman attributes. Amid a sudden, rising wave of violence and chaos apparently provoked by these Powered citizens, Rose struggles to balance the ghosts of her past with the mounting pressure of her professional responsibilities, all while fighting to hold her strained marriage together and avoid the lure of getting high.
Crashing #1 will be available with three variant covers for fans and retailers to enjoy, including Cover A by series illustrator Morgan Beem, Cover B by Jorge Corona, and Cover C by Liana Kangas.

The pair ignites a tentative romance as their world erupts in chaos, with secret agents following Vivian’s every move, as events erupt around the amnesiac woman that defy explanation.
