Benny went his entire career on TH-cam without a single scandal as is so common on the platform. He inspired a generation of kids to enjoy and explore their hobbies and was just generally an all-round-awesome person. Just by enjoying and sharing a hobby he brought over 3 million subscribers together (and I believe he reached 1 billion views). He was a veteran and even beyond that did so much for so many people. Rest in peace, Benny.
Yeah, was just naturally likeable. Got me caught up on decades of comics history. Definitely a big reason I'm a comic book fan. RIP to the Legend Benny from Comicstorian.
This does matter now. What's matter is what kind of relationship he had with his maker. I am sure he already had his life reviews and was sent either to hell or heaven. As we know, most people go to hell. God is not going to evaluate him based on how many TH-cam videos he made without scandal unfortunately. I won't say RIP, because nobody rest in peace. As soon as the people died, the soul leaves the body and the person is still conscious and continues to sense everything exponentially. The one who get saved continues to live in peace and joy. The ones who got lost continues to live in suffering. We are eternal beings. We are a spiritual beings who are having an experienced on earth in a body. We won't never die. We are eternal
@@MB-bp4zd I disagree but believe what you want. Besides, that’s not the point of what I’m saying. What I’m saying is that he led a good life and so should be respected by us in his absence.
@@MB-bp4zd there is no god
@@MB-bp4zdyou have no evidence for your god, none
marvel and DC Should honor him because a lot people wouldn't be comic book fans if it wasn't for him
So true 😞
Whole heartedly. He brought many fans to a medium that wouldn't be there without him. I say make him a hero 😤 that his superpowers be persuasion and his voice 😍 because he persuaded me to get back in the comics with his voice 😤 this dude's going to be missed so much
Yes, at the very least he should have an in memoriam page in a few of the dc and marvel comics
Yes i agree maybe even put them in a comic
A crossover tribute
I'm so shocked he was the reason I got into comics, I'm the biggest fan but he made me love it
JAI WHAT?
I literally cannot believe he passed. It feels unreal to me. May God rest his soul.
Yea, I can't wrap my head around the fact that I'm never going to watch a new video from him again. That's so weird. It's hard to process.
@@EzrulieDantor same here. I just watched him a few days ago
@@EzrulieDantor He literally made videos almost every other day, like the one he posted 3 days ago, and now knowing that’s not gonna happen anymore just hits hard.
Literally messed up morning to hear about this, im gonna miss him
@@spacexmikeyes finding out someone you've been watching for years died so young is gonna make anyone sad
@@spacexmike wow, you're that heartless
Yea man, I was literally not expecting to hear this when I woke up
@spacexmike yah I've Been watching him since i was fucking 11 his first video was about the Logan storyline 13 years ago....of course my morning sucks along with the shit I'm going through...like tf
Me to greatly 😢😭😭😭😭😭
I'm shocked his death is even reported in the mainstream news. I guess he was just that well known
I think Benny would get a good laugh about his hot sauce brand making it onto the news because of his death. I can practically hear him laughing and joking about it now, and can practically picture Sal's face. Gonna miss that a whole lot.
He had a hot sauce brand?
@@Vickolai Yeah. Him and his brother started it maybe 6 months to a year ago. They usually promoted it on their Absolutely Marvel and DC channel (which is my favorite channel of his)
I think it was called This Hot Sauce Is. Everyone on the show seemed to like it quite a bit. You can still buy it on their website.
This man allowed me to pick up my childhood love for comics as a busy adult and I will always be thankful for that. RIP Ben
Dude he's the only reason why I was contemplating buying comics just simply because as an adult now I'm too busy...
Such a fucking bummer. People like Benny are needed in this world more than ever.
RIP… this broke my heart
Liar
@@KING17626oh lmao you’re commenting everywhere- you’re such an attention seeker 😂
@@KING17626Please kick rocks
@@KING17626you’re a loser that rage baits for fun. No one will miss you , unlike Ben.
Veteran to Veteran I'm going to miss you brother, RIP Benny Potter, King Of Comics reading. Your awesome voice will be miss but your legacy will never be forgotten.
I had no idea that Ben was so huge that he would actually get coverage from News outlets. Don’t get me wrong. I’m surprised As I am sad, that the man died at 40 years old. I have subscribed to him I only occasionally listen to he while I’m at work to get through the day.
Rip to Benny
He's the reason I got into comics a year ago
RIP Benny. Thank you for opening the doors to many new worlds.
Rest in Power Benny...you will be greater missed... Thank you for all the fantastic content over the years and it will live on
It’s so sad because I think when you think of TH-camrs and geek culture today, it’s all people hating and complaining and raging about everything. It makes it not even fun to be a fan anymore. Ben was never like that. Every time I watched one of his videos it reminded me why I loved comic books. I wish the people that brought politics into everything on BOTH sides would leave. Ben’s channel help me forget about all that stuff.
He liked people to come to his channel and celebrate comics, and the fun they can be in anything positive in life you got to hold onto. Life’s too short to be complaining and hating every day. And you could tell Ben was a positive person. I just finished his recap of the crossover comic book between DC comics and the monster verse and he did such a great job. I am devastated that we lost him so young. I pray for his family and friends. Rest In Peace Ben and Ty for everything 🙏
He was a nice guy. Big voice and a big heart. Even his aspirations were big. I'm sure whatever he had planned would've been amazing.
I had no idea he was a vet 😢 rip Uncle Ben
I can't believe Ben has passed. He was one of the greatest people who got me into comics in the first place. RIP Ben Potter, you had left behind a great legacy. 😭😭❤️
Noooo.....this man got me through so many hours of depression while working. Rest in power king
Loved his work. R.I.P. good sir
Deadpool kills the marvel-verse was the first comic I found on his channel
Same here it was one of the first videos of his that I had seen. I had been watching him since I was 10 and now I'm 20 years old.
@@saafirg9081 yeah, he was the best. I still can’t believe he’s gone RIP
I watch this guy comicstorian TH-cam channel I feel sorry for the lost for her family 😢😢😢😢😢😢
This man was a godsend. Rest in power my guy. Prayers to his family
This still breaks my heart that he’s gone 😢😢
I can't not believe it. comicstorian i was a huge fan of his he was one of my favorite TH-camr and all of his TH-cam videos were super awesome 👌 💖 👍 😍 👏 rest in peace comicstorian 🙏 my condolences to your family.
Rest in Peace Ben Potter you may be gone but you will not be forgotten 🙏❤🕊
Thank you, Benny, for all your work..
When I was getting into comics couple years back I didn't know what to start so I looked up youtube and he got recommended to me so I started to watch his stuff. I will forever be thankful for him. May he rest easy!
I wish he can come back
No......... I can't believe he's gone 😭.
Rest in brother 🙏🏻
RIP😢
Man,I'm totally in shock!! R.I.P. Ben Potter. I truly enjoyed watching and listening to your wonderful work....DAMN
I always looked forward to his videos
Man I used to watch him all the time rest in peace you will be missed ❤
RIP TO A REAL ONE 😥🙏
Remember watching Benny foe the first time in high school. He really showed my self and my peers just how awesome comics are. For that, you have my sincere gratitude, Benny.
It’s really is a shame. I really loved him. He and I have something in common. We’re both a fan of Marvel and DC comics. It’s a shame he passed away May he rest in peace.
It's crazy watching all the coverage of the day after the news was broke. 😔 I hooped on yesterday expecting a fresh video like he always would deliver... Was not expecting this when I woke up and got on TH-cam...
Rest in power legend. 😢
R.I.P🕊
Still can’t believe it.
I can't believe he dead since i watch all his videoes. That so tragic right now.
Rest in power my man
RIP
Rest in peace Comicstorian ❤
Rip I followed his channel good content 🙏
It still doesnt answer the question what was the cause of his death
Hasn't been released yet.
His wife Nathalie didn't share that detail beyond stating an accident, so everyone is respecting that privacy.
Update reported by Daily Mail: it was a car accident,he drove off the road and rolled
😢
What 😢
Tragic. 😢 rip
Craft Services at News 19 must be on a different lvl.
😢😢😢😢😢😢
An “unfortunate accident” is not a “cause of death”.
And even if what they state is a lie.
Leaving it like that just breeds controversy.
Especially in this time of people slipping in the shower,
and falling on some bullets.
People are saying he commit suicide already it was a car crash
Rest In Peace.
It's a sad day, for us, comic lovers!
First Mr. Toriyama, and now Comicstorian….
Romans 10:13 🙏
No he was American.
Rip
Rest in Peace Ben
BEEEEEENNNNNYYYYYYYY MISS YOU ALREADY MAN!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
WAAAAAAAAAHH THIS IS LIKE A NIGHTMARE 😭😭😭😭😭
R.I.P. BENNY!!!! 🪦 😭😭😭😭😭😭 THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES!!!! We your fans know you’re reading comics to the angels now!! 👼😭😭😭😭
What is the unfortunate accident. ?
Car accident
I will miss him if I didn't see his videos I won't be into comics
What was the ‘unfortunate accident’?
Damn
He was the reason I dug futher into comics
I'm terrified to learn what that 'Unfortunate Accident' was. It could be literally anything...
Car accident,reported by Daily Mail….he drove off road and rolled
@@AdamAddictLwhat would possess him to do that I wonder?? Bummer
@@Mehhhhhhhh On phone/not paying attention….any number of reasons….but drugs/alcohol were not involved
I swear marvel or dc better make a superhero based on him!!!😤
Rest In Peace Benjamin ‘Benny’ Potter aka Comicstorian.
Why does this keep happening?
Rip Ben
Did he get shot or what happened
So what was " the accident"?
Car accident
@@AdamAddictL thanks, unfortunate accident could mean lots of things
@@meltedcopper9247 yea,reported by Daily Mail earlier,he drove off road and rolled. No drugs/alcohol involved
@@AdamAddictL sad 😔
Car accident right?
This still doesn’t feel real 😢
Rip Benjamin Potter, you will be missed
Unfortunate accident 🧐
It was a car accident.
accident they say but wont say what like car accident ?
His wife addressed it as an "unfortunate accident" and left it at that. Nobody but his inner circle knows what happened yet and honestly we really shouldnt ask or push them until they speak about it themselves
@@Nyualum21 Gary coleman his wife said it was a unfortunate accident though we know she pushed him down the stairs then told doctors pull the plug Razor Ramon the wrestler had a accident he fell off a ladder and it made things worse that fall in which he never recovered and passed away the yellow power ranger was a car accident on her way too her friends wedding people will be curious and speculate what happened because they want too know afterall if they dont ever address it people will make assumptions . Personally his fans should know it shouldnt be a secret imo.
@@SSF-GIRL well no shit it’s gonna come out eventually, but badgering his friends and family for details is insensitive and insults Bennys memory. Tf are you on about
@@SSF-GIRLit was a 1 car accident p,reported earlier by Daily Mail….he went off road and rolled. No drugs or alcohol involved. You’re welcome
Man this feels like fake news I still can't believe. R.i.p big guy
Overdosed. Rip.
I wonder what's the accident.
Car accident
@@AdamAddictL 😳 For real!?
@@marvelghost yes,reported by Daily Mail,he went off road and rolled
Unfortunate accident?
bye forever handsome
Nooooooooooooo not comicstorian!!!!!
Drug overdose ?
No link to his TH-cam channel wow what a bunch of a holes
Car accident
Did he take the vaccine or what?
Your brain is broken.
Pardon the euphemistic “unfortunate accident”; what they really meant was “car crash”.
I hate how these stupid news outlets have to resort to using soft language to make it sound less intense than it really was - all in the name of protecting our all-important feefees. 🙄
HIS *WIFES* WORDS. *NOT* the news people
His wife literally says that and they got the info from there...
Cleary it was suicide.
It was a car crash
@@matthewslonaker5432 yeah he drove off the road killing himself. No other vehicles involved. He offed himself.
@@jasonskywalker5635It is not clear if it was intentional, it could have been cause by being distracted or falling asleep. It very well could have been intentional, but we don’t know.
@@jasonskywalker5635 he didn't, but you should
WHO CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARES
this man raised an etire generations and caused a rebirth in superhero fans
I don't understand ppl like you. Sit down and stop for looking for attention
Not you obviously. Why waste your time saying such cruel things? You are a bad person.
Bro HAS to be a kid😂
Why comment ??
I pray that he’s a powerful omega level mutant somewhere in a far off universe living his best life 😢 RIP Benny many hours I listened to you! There’s only 2 great ones that do it and you’re one of them … Rest in Power!!! You now join Ironman and king Táchala in the hall of heroes!! 🫡 😢
NO 1 IS SAYING HOW FFS WHAT FKING "ACCIDENT"?!!?!?!?!?!!?

Let the family cry
car accident
If his own family doesn’t wanna say how he passed away, they don’t have to say, simple.
@@KWG13270 THEN DONT BOTHER RUNNING A NEWS STORY ON IT THEN AHHHHG○T HOW ABOUT THAT???????
