The Death of Speedy is one of my best reads ever. Heartbreaking, in a good way.

I've been extremely immersed in fantasy worlds, sci-fi worlds and I'll always love the feeling of reading something that makes me wanna spend time in that world and go away of the real world for some hours. Well... sh%#!
I had never felt so immersed in a world where the characters are so much like the real people around me (near or far) in the real world where real problems sleep under the pillow waiting for the right time in your sleep to slip into your life and make you ask yourself what the hell you're doing. Ultimately "The Death Of Speedy" by Jaime Hernandez makes the question that precedes death: Does it all, good AND bad, make you, at the end, happy?
I've just finished reading it so I'm not sure if it's going to be true but either way I think these characters and events will stay with me for quite some time. Maybe, in my sleep, the characters will stop the problems under my pillow from waking up. And for that I don't have any words left.

This is so poetic and tragic. It proves that a story can be told in graphic novel format and live up to a text novel, perhaps even exceed it. It haunts me still.
