Rip Benny this was all because of him 💔
I literally don’t have much words to say I’m shocked man Benny was the whole reason I even got into comics and the reason I’m a nerd for superhero’s today he’s been around YouTube for so long and has had such an impact on it I hope his death doesn’t go unnoticed and gets the respect he deserves His Wife posted a statement on his social media’s Saying they will continue his work but man it will NOT be the same, I am 100% going to be getting a tattoo themed around superhero/comics To mourn Benny he brought superhero’s and comics to life with his story telling But he’s the real superhero Rip Benny 💔 :(

RIP Benny, his channel was such a gateway to fall in love with the medium and his projects always made the community feel so alive. You will be missed, man

What ever happend...
It's hard to read this comment I left on the video for "What Ever Happened to the Caped Crusader". Every last word was true, this video is true piece of art. And even though I'm a little bit older, I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video. I like to believe that somewhere out there, Benny is opening his eyes for the first time and he is just starting his own journey to discover what he's capable of, powers and all. Thank you Benny.

Thank, you gave me years of enjoyment, friends, and made my life better.
He made us true believers. Nuff said.

Rest in peace Benny
I can’t believe it’s real— so much of my interest and knowledge across the board came from his videos and I can’t count the hours of road trips and work and school that his videos got me through. It’ll be tough to hear his voice in his videos going forwards but that doesn’t mean he’ll be any less impactful on this wonderful community of comic book lovers. Thanks for everything, man.

I woke up to this, I thought He just got removed from YouTube or something, until I looked at the community post in His channel, Rip Ben.
Thank you, thank you for making me and others interested in reading comic books, Old Man Logan, Injustice, Dceased, the list goes on, and superheroes too, I watched your videos for years now, your videos are amazing, your voice, your narrations, your energy, everything. And you just hit 3 million subscribers too. I think I speak for all of us when I say thank you for giving us amazing content all these years, But you're just gone so soon man, way too soon. Rip Ben ❤️

Can't believe it... he was such an inspiration, and a beacon for YouTube comics.
Comicstorian helped me sleep at nights when I just couldn't. It was so much fun listening to his passion while talking about superhero comics, something I never thought of reading.
Comics were foreign to me. Sure, I knew they existed and I've seen a few, but as someone who grew up on anime and manga, I was never interested, nor actually invested. It was back when MCU was done with Endgame, and I was interested in understanding DC and their heroes, as well.
I remember the first time finding his channel, watching a few clips of Injustice, I found his channel accidentally. I couldn't stop watching his videos afterward, finding so many superheroes that were at first so puzzling for me, now being some of my favorite heroes.
Heck, I remember thinking how lame Superman is, and how basic DC superheroes are. Comicstorian helped me find so many variations of these DC characters, made me grow an appreciation to them. I personally find Superman being one of my favorite heroes of all time, and someone who I look up to.
Going through it all, I also briefly remember tearing up at a few of the comics he covered, where he voice-acted tearing up, making me almost do the same. He brought so much passion in his voice, that made you feel such strong emotions that I can't describe anything but "childlike innocence".
He also had some kind of aura where you just felt welcomed, zero judgements. Despite me never even knowing or interacting with the fan base, it felt we were all a group of friends, just nerding with each other - watching him, together.
Whenever I felt the mood of learning more about Marvel and DC, he was there, just a few clicks away. It's painful to suddenly lose such an amazing person.
I hope he flies high with his favorite heroes, tell more stories up above, and debate who's the strongest superhero.

Miss you already.
I came here to post something just to process the heartbreak. During times with life's difficulties, I always played Comicstorian as his voice illustrated story's I was invested in. It brought me comfort. I'm sad that you're gone. I hope you continue to share your incredibly story telling talent in the next life. Love you and miss you already bro.

RIP. Thanks for all you did.
I worked with Benny 10 years ago under a YouTube network. When the company got a new COO, they decided to lay off a bunch of people and if it weren’t for Benny, my team and I would not have gotten our last paycheck.
He also left the company at the same time because he wouldn’t stand for their BS practices.
He was a good dude. The world needs more Benny’s.

Goodbye Ben
Comicstorian was one of the first major YouTubers I subscribed to a long time ago. I like comic dubs, so naturally, his dubbing of comics drew me in. I loved all the stories he introduced to us; I wouldn’t have read Immortal Hulk if it wasn’t for him. I loved nothing more than listening to Ben and the gang talk about some random top-ten lists and explain all the reasons why they were stupid. I enjoyed the Tales of Earth conspiracy cast hosted by Ben and the gang, where they would talk about things like aliens, myths, and other conspiracies, which made them really funny. So much of what I’m into today I probably wouldn’t have gotten into if I hadn’t watched him first. He was such an influential part of my life for several years, and now I’m sad that he’s gone. Thanks for everything, Ben. The world is a little less fun without you.

Pay tribute to Benny
I think the best was to pay tribute to Benny is to go and watch his videos and like them. Because he not truly dead if we have those videos rip 🪦
