Thanks for posting. The Death of Speedy is one of the best stories in the series. Agreed, focusing more on characters instead of the sci-fi elements made the series more engrossing. Always enjoyed the artwork, reminded me of an adult version of Archie comics.
Great video! I love your breakdown of this story. I always thought that Speedy's death was supposed to be ambiguous. Like, maybe it's suicide, maybe the other gang finally caught him, maybe it's Blanca's relatives/friends, maybe it was some unknown person he pissed off in the past...
It definitely could be any of those things! I just felt so strongly that in that moment of silence where he stares off towards the emergency room that he comes to a decision in that moment and makes a conscious choice to end the cycle that he's been perpetuating. Do you know if Jaime ever confirms it as suicide in later issues?
@@anotherbooktubechannel Not when they were doing the original run of the book. However, I know they've started L&R over in recent years and the characters are now middle aged. I'm not aware if they've addressed Speedy's Death in the newer issues.

Yes definite Archie vibes
@@anotherbooktubechannel Just curious. Are you planning on reviewing Demon by Jason Shiga? Finished Vol. 1, and thought it was interesting.
@@novasite7795 I am unfamiliar with that series. I'll have to look into it
