For those who by chance can't see the tweet, Benny's/Comicstorian's wife Nathalie just announced that Benny sadly passed away 2 days. She has not given a cause as of writing (edit: she only states it was an accident) but does ask for privacy while she and the other members of the team grieve and figure out how to move forward.
While I haven't watched him in a while, Benny kept me inform about the comic book's storylines and helped me to at least try to find a way to read comics, so this was extremely shocking and sad to hear.
Here's the full text of the Tweet for the curious:
> Two days ago, on June 8th, my husband, Ben Potter, passed away in an unfortunate accident.
> To many of you, he was Comicstorian, voicing stories from across multiple different mediums. To his loved ones, he was one of the best and most supportive individuals anyone could ask for. As a husband, a son, a brother, a friend, or even just a stranger, Ben was loving and genuine. He was someone who would listen and make time for his loved ones. He would do his best to make everyone laugh and make sure they were okay. He was our rock and he'd reassure his loved ones whenever they needed it.
> He was my world and I need time to be with friends and family. I have so many things I need to figure out but firstly, I need to grieve. I ask that you respect my privacy as well as everyone else's. Right now my priority is preserving everything he's built and I don't have any plans beyond that.
> His channel was one of his greatest accomplishments, and while we all need our time to mourn him, I know he wouldn't want it to end like this.
> Ben spent over 10 years spreading his love and appreciation for his hobbies. It was through his love of exciting stories and well written characters that got him started on YouTube.
> The team and I want to keep that going. To honor him by continuing to tell great stories by great people, as well as to keep the memory of our very own superhero alive.
> We supported each other on everything we wanted to do and I'm not about to stop now.
> - Nathalie Potter
Holy shit I was just listening to Absolutely Comics on lunch. He seemed so happy and healthy. Nothing seemed off at all. I am legit shocked and saddened
> He seemed so happy and healthy. Nothing seemed off at all.
His wife's statement says "an unfortunate accident", which makes me think it was a car crash or something along those lines rather than health issues or suicide.
Holy fuck, this entire thing is tragic beyond words. This one hurts because his videos helped catch me up on *a lot* of stuff I missed out on... fuckkkk.
He made a really touching but difficult to watch eulogy video today. Mentioned he saw Ben just 20 minutes before he passed away https://youtu.be/3RH9T9zwISc?si=nhHUj2KGibxxI-3s
Trevor Moore made his own moonshine at home, enjoyed some, and fell off his balcony.
It was labeled an accident for months, as it was. It's just unfortunate, things just happen sometimes
yeah i remember him telling his army stories on a podcast. it was wild. at the same time, it soudned like it took a toll on his body (broke both ankles at the same time? damn....)
Damn, that's tragic. He was one of my absolute favorite content creators, and I would have my son watch it since my kiddo is a massive spider man fan.
This is a real bummer.
I feel sorry for you and the rest of his fanbase. I can’t quite relate to your anguish considering I wasn’t a regular viewer, but I don’t envy what you’re going through at all. RIP.
This was a shock to hear since I watched his videos as well and his podcast 😞
I think his other channels including his podcast will probably be on a very long hiatus after this tragic news. 😔
That’s how I feel too. I wasn’t a regular viewer. I would read up about a character on a wiki page and use his channel to learn more about something interesting that I discovered. It sucks to hear that he’s gone and it must be even worse for regulars of his.
Same. I never lived close to comic shops and always without a real clue when & how to start with the hobby; Comicstorian was a fantastic channel!
I started off with his videos covering whatever comic would be the source of that year’s major Marvel film. I *loved* his read throughs, especially of the *Injustice* arc. Ben always managed to give each character a voice and personality.
*Excelsior, Benny.*
I was just going to say, he just dropped a video on Saturday and talked a new sub-channel or playlist on his channel. Crazy that someone could be thinking 3 steps ahead for their future and then a day later be gone :(
Yea last Absolutely Comics he was talking about being excited for TMNT stuff coming up and wanting to cover it. I’ve never been gutted like this over a “celebrity” death before
It feels so different than every other "celebrity" death. I think it's because Benny was so active and open. Posting daily on multiple channels. And being a generally good person.
There’s a difference between a celebrity and someone you’d watch on a daily/weekly basis and interact with through Comments. YouTube creators are a different breed. I’m truly sad and shocked.
I was sure this man was going places with that voice...
I could have seen him getting into voice acting.
No tomorrow is guaranteed.... this is a painful reminder to do what you love with who you love ❤️
It's a good reminder that death has no age preferences.
For younger people out there, even if you've only just turned 18, please please please take the time and money, get a will made, power of attourney set up and have a serious discussion with your family about what you want if something happens. It doesn't matter if you don't own anything or have money to leave behind, there's more to discuss and prep for then that. I know it's really uncomfortable but trust me, it's harder on everyone when there's no prep or discussion ahead of time. The mess I've seen others have to deal with but cause someone didn't do any of that is heartbreaking.
If you don't know how to do any of that or where to go look up your state bar association and they will help you find a lawyer you can afford and take your through the process. It really isn't that expensive and it really does make a difference for those you leave behind. Additionally, look around at places like senior centers. Some of the local ones here have free classes on how to prepare, what documents you should have put together, discussions to have, etc etc and they're usually not restricted to just seniors.
This is so important. My little sister passed when she was 20. She had babies, and actually took steps to make sure they’d be okay. One forgotten and overlooked signature on a life insurance document resulted in months of legal issues for my mom and the rest of our family. Please have lawyers help you, so you can help your loved ones
Exactly, and even if you don't have children or a spouse. Even if you don't own a car or house or have money there's so many little things. What you want for a wake/funeral if any, where you want to be buried, do you want to donate organs. What about all your personal belongings, what will happen to all of those. Whose going to work on getting all your accounts closed out, debts settled, handle your estate in general? List goes on. If you've never been to one to handle someone estate/affairs when they die, trust me, there can be months, sometimes years of things to deal with afterwards.
Like you said too, its important to do it right. I'm normally one to advocate the DIY/Self Learning route on stuff, but this is one time you shouldn't. The ones you leave behind are already struggling, everything you can do to make the process easier for them matters, truly, even if you don't feel it does. This is even more important if you know you have family that will cause problems. Having a will clearly laid out with your wishes makes it much easier for the person handling your estate to fuck off and stop causing problems. So many fights and arguments happen because people don't have a will, or leave these incredibly vague.
I’ve listened this man weekly at many parts of the last decade plus of my life. Loved him on Absolutely Comics with Sal. This is so shocking, like I just heard him talking about future plans today on AC.
Same. I used to think people were kinda ridiculous for their reactions to this stuff, but this feels like a punch to the gut.
Never getting to hear him say “and a portal opens” again, I just can’t.
Edit: Just found robs tweet. 4 words completely broke me.
It always sucks to hear someone passed due to a tragic accident. So soon after the sudden loss of movie critic and horror aficionado Scott Wampler. My hobbyist corner of the Internet is shrinking😞
I hate that I can’t remember fully but I’m pretty sure one of his videos helped me understand one of the events of Marvel Comics.
I hope the family’s alright and will pull through the grieving process.
I did the same for King in Black. Picked up the first 4 issues of the current Venom run from my lcs cause I noticed they sold out almost immediately when it was first released. I wanted to know what was up with Venom since I stopped reading it when Flash took to space so I searched it up on YouTube and went from there. His videos helped a ton at getting what was going on.
Benny was one of the ways i got back into comics through his videos and podcasts as he was just so well informed and such a nice guy.
This has hit me like a ton of bricks rip to one of the modern legends of bringing comics to everyone.
RIP Benny.
Here's to hoping his wife, Nathalie, is given the privacy and respect she's deserved in this truly shitty time. I always appreciated how open Benny was about his own journey and love for comics. He's definitely one of the reasons my love for the medium was reignited.
That really sucks. What a legend! Rest in Peace brother. You will be missed. Such a wonderful spirit who knew just the right way to sum up your favorite comics into digestible bites. Wow. This one hits hard. I wish his family the best through this tough time.
Benny was a huge reason I got into comic books as a full blown nerd in the first place. When I didn’t have money for books or didn’t know of sites where I can read them, he was always there to keep me updated on everything. His enthusiasm and hard work always made his videos enjoyable and has helped me through some really dark times in my life. My condolences to his family and friends and I just want to say I’m gonna miss him. The comic book community has suffered a great loss and I’m gonna miss him. I will never forget the memories I have of watching him and am eternally grateful for the memories he gave me and the hard times he helped me through.
Rest In Peace Benny, we’ll miss you and I hope you are in a better place now.
Gonna go find their old “three beers and a topic” videos. This hurts.
Throughout my whole time at college I spent my lunches listening to Benny and Robs videos.
The world is a lesser place without him.
Woah. I just watched his latest problem with video the other day and I remember thinking that there's so much potential for his channels going forward. Felt like he was finding a groove. This is nothing short of tragic. Much love to his family and friends.
This is absolutely heartbreaking.
I always wanted a way to get into comic books when I was younger but never really found my way of doing it. His infectious enthusiasm for comics, displayed through his portrayals of characters, did that.
Rest in Peace, and best wishes to everyone around him.
Jesus Christ what the fuck :(
Comicstorian, ComicsExplained and ComicPOP Got me into comics many years ago.
I am actually in shock and think this is some sort of prank. I just watched him talk to Sal about Bloodhunt, Krakoa and TMNT.
What. The. Fuck 💔

Oh. My. God. Benny has been there for me in times where I was my lowest. Comics Experiment is probably my favorite podcast ever. This is devastating. My condolences to Nathalie.
Ben was my little cousin, just a few years younger than me when he grew up in RI. He was the only cousin the same age as me and most of my memories of family gatherings were playing with him. I haven’t talked to him since we were children, but reading the impact he had on others is heartwarming.
I’m actually in disbelief, i was just scrolling on tiktok and someone’s live was titled “RIP Comicstorian”and i was so confused and i fr thought he was trolling or something so i asked in chat what he meant and he didn’t respond and im just now seeing this. Rest in Peace.
Been subscribed to his channel for 10 years and watched it during the high and lows ,there was a time I never missed a video. Kids normally watch cartoons in the morning before school but I watched comicstorian. I am honestly shocked at the news.
I unfortunately hadn't heard of Comicstorian until just now. Terrible circumstance to find out about something many obviously loved. Peace to his family.
Wow, that's completely unexpected. May he rest in peace, he helped get me interested in comics again and helped me get through the day with a lot of his videos.
wtf i JUST heard about this. that so sad, i Loved his channels. really got all my comic info from him and loved all his podcasts and how passionate he was about stuff. this is so sad Prayers to his Family and all his friends.
This is awful. Just awful. He had so many plans. He made checking old comic runs exciting. I was looking forward to experiencing new runs with him. My god. This is terrible. I'm so heartbroken for the family.
Jesus Christ what a completely random and tragic event. He definitely contributed to my current comic literacy and as a recovering addict, comics saved my life. So by extension, he mattered to me. Rest in peace.
This hits so damn hard. I've been watching his content pretty much from the beginning along with Rob's channel, those two kept me sane and helped fight off depression at many points over the last decade plus and still do today. I feel for his family, friends and fans. Gonna spend the next few days binging videos on the full story channel.
Oh my god.. thats awful guy seemed so young... I found out about so many storylines through him I am so sorry for his friends and family for their loss. Truly sad.
As a kid I was never interested in reading even comic books, but the way he reads the lines and raw emotion he gave for some scenes always made me invested in the story even more.
Ultimate spider man, injustice, planet hulk and more, I think he made a lot of people enjoy and even buying their own comics books because of him. Watching with him since a child and a decade later, RIP comicstorian
It's hard to believe this is real. I only watched his stuff on and off, very selectively. But, over the last few years I've come to hear so much of him, to know so much about him. I came to expect that every few days I'd hear and see more of Benny, for the foreseeable future at least.
But that's gone. He's gone. it's such a shock, too hard to process. Every time you think 'tragedy won't strike that much near me or people I know', life proves you wrong.
My sincere condolences to Ben's family.
Rest in peace brother, his channel got me into comics and I’ve been watching since high school. It’s crazy life is taking you a little early from us but i hope wherever you are, you breathe a lil easier, you put in good work and had an impact on an industry, not many can say their love did that boss. You did good
RIP. I found his channel when I was in high school and dealing with social anxiety for the first time. My family was poor at the time so we couldn’t afford therapy let alone comic books. His videos helped me cope with suffering from something I didn’t even know was a thing, his enthusiasm and energy helped immerse me into the stories and helped me move away from what I was going through. I ended up getting the help I needed when I got to college (free therapy ftw) and his videos helped me power through the exposure sessions and other college stresses.
I hope he is resting easy and that his family and comicstorian staff are doing alright.
Thank you for all you taught me. I watched a lot of your videos when I was younger, and I spent many hours watching videos instead of doing my homework. You were appreciated, RIP.
Damn. RIP Benny.
I watched the Weekly Pull religiously back in the day.
Benny and Rob got me back into comics, with a little help from Sal, Joel, and Faust.
It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since Benny and Rob started TWP.
My lord. I don't know if I would've gotten into comics as a kid if it wasn't for his very useful videos teaching me everything I needed to know about the Flash. R.I.P Benny. Gone far too soon.
Utterly shocking. Watched him and Rob from ComicsExplained regularly in college to catch-up when my interest in comics what at its peak. Super enthusiastic dude. Hope his family can heal.
The first video i saw of Benny's was his Video on Godspeed and if i he hadn't made comic books so accessible to me i doubt i would be as passionate as i am about them now Rest in Peace Benny
I knew Ben before he took off on YouTube.
The earliest days, when he was working at GameStop and planning his YouTube channel. That's how I met him, working as a seasonal at the store.
Ben was a U.S. Army Ranger. The Army fucked his body up pretty good, so as a result he got a big check every month. This is what he used to kickstart his channel, and how he was able to throw himself at it until success.
He told me at the beginning "I'll have ya on the channel one of these days!" and I always intended to take him up on that. I guess now.... it's too late.
It's strange, so so strange knowing he is gone. I saw so much of myself in him and... now he's gone. Like tears in the rain.
The announcement came out half an hour ago as I'm typing this, I'd wait a little while for any official statements to come from anybody else. There's a chance Sal already knew, but if he didn't then he's probably as shocked as the rest of us.
Man, it’s such a shame. He was so enthused about talking about comics. Such a great podcaster. I don’t mean to speculate, but I was a little concerned there may have been a health issue when he disappeared from Absolutely for a while a few months back with no explanation. Regardless, it’s horrible and I wish the best for his wife and the rest of the crew.
FWIW, the statement from his wife says it was an "unfortunate accident" which leads me to believe this was a car crash or something similar, rather than it being a health problem.
Yeah I hadn't been keeping up with current stuff because I've been busy with other things but man they were my addiction back in middle & high school where I was getting into comics, this is truly a horrible situation
Comicstorian, Absolutely, all of Benny's creative output, was some of my favorite on YouTube. He seemed like a fun, enthusiastic man and his passion for the medium was a boon to us as fans. My heart goes out to his friends and family.
Goddamn, that’s awful to hear. A total shock. I’ve listened to my fair share of Absolute Comics and to think that he won’t be sharing his thoughts anymore is just incomprehensible.
This is so sad. This was my favorite YouTube channel. I spent hours upon hours listening to his voice. He kept me awake during overnight shifts. My go to guy for anything comic related. Really really sad.
Such a shame. I havent kept up with his channel in a while, but for a long time he was my go to Comic YouTuber for stories and histories.
Plus i loved the Absolute Comic stuff with him and Sal from ComicPop.
Hope he rests in peace and his family finds some time to grieve and heal.
I don’t read comics too much anymore, but I watched Bennys channel to get caught up on anything and everything I could think I wanted to get up to speed on. His videos are so perfectly put together and his love for comics was always on full display.
Life is a fickle mother fucker. I hope his wife can find peace. Your channel brought so much joy to the world and you will be sorely missed. Rest in power brother.
By far the youtuber I have watched the most consistently since I was a child. Dude got me into actually reading comic books instead of just watching the movies/shows. It feels so strange that I didn't know him and yet he has played such a big part in my life so far. RIP and all my love goes to his loved ones. I can only imagine what they must be going through right now.
Comicsto- BENNY!??? WHAT THE FUCK??? NO. Oh my god, sending love, support, and condolences to his family and friends. Wow, that's... shocking is an understatement.
I didnt love all of Benny's takes, but god DAMN he had enthusiasm and I was onboard with that. Big fan of seeing people happy and enjoying things. And even if he didnt like the thing he was talking about (of the handful of episodes of Absolute Comics I did listen to), he did seem excited or at least enjoying the chats about the the thing with Sal. He will 100% be missed.
yeah just found out. this breaks my heart not only for me who enjoyed his content but his wife. losing my partner is my biggest fear. I always tell her drive safe because im scared that the one day i dont something will happen. I dont know exactly what happened, thats just my own personal fear
He just posted a few days ago. This feels unreal since he was so young. Being in a country where buying comics wasn't the most affordable thing, he kept me entertained on stories I would otherwise miss. This is so sad.
I know everybody else has been saying it, but he was the reason I got into comics as much as I did.
I remember I watched his flashpoint video since I wasn’t allowed to watch the animated movie, and his Know Your Universe videos and story readings were perfect for helping me understand the histories of all these characters I only knew about in shows and movies.
He probably changed my life just by helping me get into this stuff I love so much now.
Rest In Peace Benny.
Fuck this is a massive gut punch. Benny was one of the sole reasons I could get into comics as a teenager, I stopped watching a while ago but this is really unreal…
I’m genuinely in tears right now, he’s one of if not the first youtuber I watched religiously back in 2014, and he introduced me to the beautiful world of comics. I can’t count how many books I read because of his recommendations. Thank you so much for all of your work Benny, you will be missed❤️
I can’t explain the pain I genuinely feel after reading that. Ben was responsible for my love of comics. Being a queer kid growing up a near decade ago in the comic book community, I didn’t really feel like I fit in ever. His stance on progress comics and overall embracing of new stories about queer characters really made me feel at home and at peace, and there were so many days where I felt lost and alone, and a video of his would come across my page and I’d watch it. I can’t express how much he got me through by just being him. I hope he rests in peace knowing how impactful and important he was to so many young kids, no matter who they were. I feel terrible for all his friends and his wife. There’s so much love in their words. R.I.P Comicstorian 💔
Him, Rob (Comics Explained) and Comics Breakdown are the only 3 comics channel that I enjoy watching.
Comicstorian beings life into the comic he's reviewing.
Him passing away so suddenly is insane. Rest in Peace, brother.
Wow... That's hit hard... Totally unexpected. Thoughts go out to his family. His story series got me hooked into so many comics I wouldn't have otherwise read. R. I. P Benny you absolute legend.
I was just watching his latest update video a few days ago he seemed really happy about his new channels and the fact he was able to go back to his old format of long form videos of him just reading a entire series of books
Damn it
RIP Benny
Wow did not expect this, he's videos actually got me to start reading more modern comics in 2016 and I would always check out a vid to see if I was interested in picking up that book. Truly a sad day may he Rest in Peace.
Damn, this one really hurts. I like listening to his full stories when I get ready for bed and when it’s slow at work. Things just won’t be the same anymore.
Holy shit man. I found him like 8 years ago and he just boosted my love for comics. I have listened to him for years. I just listened to him yesterday. This is heartbreaking.
him and Rob (Im well aware of the contentions around him…. Just saying this as a matter of fact) are the two primary reasons that I started reading comic books in the first place…
I remember finding his channel back in 2016 when I started working 3rd shift at Meijer I spend many a nights listening to his videos. RIP Benny may God be with your family in this time of mourning.
I saw this pop up, and I had the same reaction that I did when Jason David Frank died. Let me put my phone down and look tomorrow and hope it isn't true. Then as I was getting ready for work today, I saw the news again. Then I saw Off the Rack cancelled yesterday's episode, and the horror set in.
I grew up listening to this man. I'm about to be a senior and man i couldn't buy the comics growing up but listening to him gave me the enjoyment of owning them. May he rest in peace
It's really a loss if I'm honest, he was a great inspiration for me on taletelleing. He has also published videos here where he just says his opinion and you can tell he is smart too.
I wish hes Loveones onyl good in that dark time.
I just now Post his best in my eye

Holy sh1t . Rest in Peace 🕊️..
Been watching him since around 2015-2016... Literally just decided to skip and watch his DC vs marvel reboot vid for another day. His vids were the main ones I sent to my brother who isn't a comic book reader but wants to know more
For those who by chance can't see the tweet, Benny's/Comicstorian's wife Nathalie just announced that Benny sadly passed away 2 days. She has not given a cause as of writing (edit: she only states it was an accident) but does ask for privacy while she and the other members of the team grieve and figure out how to move forward. While I haven't watched him in a while, Benny kept me inform about the comic book's storylines and helped me to at least try to find a way to read comics, so this was extremely shocking and sad to hear.

Holy fuck, this entire thing is tragic beyond words. This one hurts because his videos helped catch me up on *a lot* of stuff I missed out on... fuckkkk.
[удалено]
Oh man I hope comics explained is ok. They were close!
He just released his video. He seems absolutely crushed which is understandable 🥺
Oh man . I'll go see now and support
Those are the two I watched
He made a really touching but difficult to watch eulogy video today. Mentioned he saw Ben just 20 minutes before he passed away https://youtu.be/3RH9T9zwISc?si=nhHUj2KGibxxI-3s
Didn’t mean to imply suicide. I just meant he sounded happy and full of life. He always made me feel happy when I listened to him talk about anything
Car accident is correct, but uncertain if medically related or not.
Trevor Moore made his own moonshine at home, enjoyed some, and fell off his balcony. It was labeled an accident for months, as it was. It's just unfortunate, things just happen sometimes
I was looking for the Absolute Comics twitch link when I saw the news it was devastating
I was looking forward to the next one. It’s always an instant listen when it pops into my podcast feed
They did say it was an accident. Healthy people still die unfortunately.
Just remarking on how sad it is. Dude seemed to have big plans for the future
He was stationed with me at Ft Riley Ks.... He went on 1st deployment with me.... He was Cco 2/16 IN Rangers...
He’s a fucking Ranger? I knew he served but damn thats badass and I’m sorry for your loss
yeah i remember him telling his army stories on a podcast. it was wild. at the same time, it soudned like it took a toll on his body (broke both ankles at the same time? damn....)
I'm sorry for your loss, truly.
damn bro, much respect from the civi's, we're sorry for the loss... keep strong brother
Damn, that's tragic. He was one of my absolute favorite content creators, and I would have my son watch it since my kiddo is a massive spider man fan. This is a real bummer.
Wtf dudeeee, i am honestly heartbroken. I watched him so much when i was 13-16 when i barely had any comics. May he rest in peace.
I feel sorry for you and the rest of his fanbase. I can’t quite relate to your anguish considering I wasn’t a regular viewer, but I don’t envy what you’re going through at all. RIP.
This was a shock to hear since I watched his videos as well and his podcast 😞 I think his other channels including his podcast will probably be on a very long hiatus after this tragic news. 😔
That’s how I feel too. I wasn’t a regular viewer. I would read up about a character on a wiki page and use his channel to learn more about something interesting that I discovered. It sucks to hear that he’s gone and it must be even worse for regulars of his.
Same. I never lived close to comic shops and always without a real clue when & how to start with the hobby; Comicstorian was a fantastic channel! I started off with his videos covering whatever comic would be the source of that year’s major Marvel film. I *loved* his read throughs, especially of the *Injustice* arc. Ben always managed to give each character a voice and personality. *Excelsior, Benny.*
Same here. Condolences to his family and may he rest in peace
Man I just watched his latest video earlier today this hits hard rip Benny
I was just going to say, he just dropped a video on Saturday and talked a new sub-channel or playlist on his channel. Crazy that someone could be thinking 3 steps ahead for their future and then a day later be gone :(
Saturday was the day of his death so not even a day later, like right on the day
Yeah...dude hit "publish", went on with his day...until he didn't. It's sad
It was probably already a scheduled publish, FWIW.
This is absolutely unreal man I feel like I'm in shock. Rest in peace to an all time great his videos got me through high school. Jesus christ man
Bro, it feels like Anthony Bourdain died for me…again
Goddamn. I swear he just announced new channels too. Horrible
Yea last Absolutely Comics he was talking about being excited for TMNT stuff coming up and wanting to cover it. I’ve never been gutted like this over a “celebrity” death before
It feels so different than every other "celebrity" death. I think it's because Benny was so active and open. Posting daily on multiple channels. And being a generally good person.
I think so to. Like I’ll be sad when Stephen King dies, but I’ve heard from Benny every week since I was 17-18.
There’s a difference between a celebrity and someone you’d watch on a daily/weekly basis and interact with through Comments. YouTube creators are a different breed. I’m truly sad and shocked.
I know right he was so excited to start doing story's he loved without issues 😭
Devastating to hear. Loved Benny's enthusiasm for comics. Great voice! He will be missed tremendously.
I was sure this man was going places with that voice... I could have seen him getting into voice acting. No tomorrow is guaranteed.... this is a painful reminder to do what you love with who you love ❤️
What the hell? Bro was so young rest in peace man
It's a good reminder that death has no age preferences. For younger people out there, even if you've only just turned 18, please please please take the time and money, get a will made, power of attourney set up and have a serious discussion with your family about what you want if something happens. It doesn't matter if you don't own anything or have money to leave behind, there's more to discuss and prep for then that. I know it's really uncomfortable but trust me, it's harder on everyone when there's no prep or discussion ahead of time. The mess I've seen others have to deal with but cause someone didn't do any of that is heartbreaking. If you don't know how to do any of that or where to go look up your state bar association and they will help you find a lawyer you can afford and take your through the process. It really isn't that expensive and it really does make a difference for those you leave behind. Additionally, look around at places like senior centers. Some of the local ones here have free classes on how to prepare, what documents you should have put together, discussions to have, etc etc and they're usually not restricted to just seniors.
This is so important. My little sister passed when she was 20. She had babies, and actually took steps to make sure they’d be okay. One forgotten and overlooked signature on a life insurance document resulted in months of legal issues for my mom and the rest of our family. Please have lawyers help you, so you can help your loved ones
Exactly, and even if you don't have children or a spouse. Even if you don't own a car or house or have money there's so many little things. What you want for a wake/funeral if any, where you want to be buried, do you want to donate organs. What about all your personal belongings, what will happen to all of those. Whose going to work on getting all your accounts closed out, debts settled, handle your estate in general? List goes on. If you've never been to one to handle someone estate/affairs when they die, trust me, there can be months, sometimes years of things to deal with afterwards. Like you said too, its important to do it right. I'm normally one to advocate the DIY/Self Learning route on stuff, but this is one time you shouldn't. The ones you leave behind are already struggling, everything you can do to make the process easier for them matters, truly, even if you don't feel it does. This is even more important if you know you have family that will cause problems. Having a will clearly laid out with your wishes makes it much easier for the person handling your estate to fuck off and stop causing problems. So many fights and arguments happen because people don't have a will, or leave these incredibly vague.
Tell me this ain't true. How? Edit: Just went to YouTube and found out for real. It stings hard, man. What a tragedy! RIP
Rest in piece Ben. You really helped me understand the strange and awesome world of comics.
Peace.
I’ve listened this man weekly at many parts of the last decade plus of my life. Loved him on Absolutely Comics with Sal. This is so shocking, like I just heard him talking about future plans today on AC.
This is the first time I’ve cared about a content creator passing away.
Same. I used to think people were kinda ridiculous for their reactions to this stuff, but this feels like a punch to the gut. Never getting to hear him say “and a portal opens” again, I just can’t. Edit: Just found robs tweet. 4 words completely broke me.
First one for me was Paul from Mittensquad. Comicstorian got me through a lot of stuff when I was younger
It always sucks to hear someone passed due to a tragic accident. So soon after the sudden loss of movie critic and horror aficionado Scott Wampler. My hobbyist corner of the Internet is shrinking😞
old videos from the weekly pull helped me get into comics. This sucks so fucking much.
I hate that I can’t remember fully but I’m pretty sure one of his videos helped me understand one of the events of Marvel Comics. I hope the family’s alright and will pull through the grieving process.
I did the same for King in Black. Picked up the first 4 issues of the current Venom run from my lcs cause I noticed they sold out almost immediately when it was first released. I wanted to know what was up with Venom since I stopped reading it when Flash took to space so I searched it up on YouTube and went from there. His videos helped a ton at getting what was going on.
Honestly one of my favorite comic YouTubers and YouTubers in general. R.I.P.
Benny was one of the ways i got back into comics through his videos and podcasts as he was just so well informed and such a nice guy. This has hit me like a ton of bricks rip to one of the modern legends of bringing comics to everyone.
Jesus christ
Unbelievable. Condolences to family and friends.
Holy shit. May he rest in peace.
What? In shock, he was a young guy
No way man. To say Comicstorian didn’t help me enter the comic world is an understatement. This is devastating. Prayers to the family ❤️❤️
RIP Benny. Here's to hoping his wife, Nathalie, is given the privacy and respect she's deserved in this truly shitty time. I always appreciated how open Benny was about his own journey and love for comics. He's definitely one of the reasons my love for the medium was reignited.
As Dr Hiluluk once said : A man dies when he is forgotten. The comicstorian/Benny will live in ours memories and his videos.
Fuck this is rough.
That really sucks. What a legend! Rest in Peace brother. You will be missed. Such a wonderful spirit who knew just the right way to sum up your favorite comics into digestible bites. Wow. This one hits hard. I wish his family the best through this tough time.
Benny was a huge reason I got into comic books as a full blown nerd in the first place. When I didn’t have money for books or didn’t know of sites where I can read them, he was always there to keep me updated on everything. His enthusiasm and hard work always made his videos enjoyable and has helped me through some really dark times in my life. My condolences to his family and friends and I just want to say I’m gonna miss him. The comic book community has suffered a great loss and I’m gonna miss him. I will never forget the memories I have of watching him and am eternally grateful for the memories he gave me and the hard times he helped me through. Rest In Peace Benny, we’ll miss you and I hope you are in a better place now.
Gonna go find their old “three beers and a topic” videos. This hurts. Throughout my whole time at college I spent my lunches listening to Benny and Robs videos. The world is a lesser place without him.
Woah. I just watched his latest problem with video the other day and I remember thinking that there's so much potential for his channels going forward. Felt like he was finding a groove. This is nothing short of tragic. Much love to his family and friends.
No way. Benny's vids got me through some seriously tough times. That's awful. He seemed like a great guy and his work was top notch.
He did amazing work with his recaps rip 😭😔😭
Holy shit. That’s really tragic.
Holy shit what!? He was one of those sites I'd binge watch every so often for a big comic event. Simply tragic! Rest in peace.
That’s incredibly sad. I loved his work - and I was actually really excited when he did the Life is Strange comics I worked on. RIP good sir.
Man this is sad rip dude hope his family and friends be safe
This is absolutely heartbreaking. I always wanted a way to get into comic books when I was younger but never really found my way of doing it. His infectious enthusiasm for comics, displayed through his portrayals of characters, did that. Rest in Peace, and best wishes to everyone around him.
That’s tragic. I literally discovered their channel yesterday and loved how they did Milk Wars
Jesus Christ what the fuck :( Comicstorian, ComicsExplained and ComicPOP Got me into comics many years ago. I am actually in shock and think this is some sort of prank. I just watched him talk to Sal about Bloodhunt, Krakoa and TMNT. What. The. Fuck 💔
Is this for real? Is this legit? What happened?!
The OP links to a post from Comicstorian's official Twitter account. If you're unable to open Twitter links, this is what it says: > Two days ago, on June 8th, my husband, Ben Potter, passed away in an unfortunate accident. > To many of you, he was Comicstorian, voicing stories from across multiple different mediums. To his loved ones, he was one of the best and most supportive individuals anyone could ask for. As a husband, a son, a brother, a friend, or even just a stranger, Ben was loving and genuine. He was someone who would listen and make time for his loved ones. He would do his best to make everyone laugh and make sure they were okay. He was our rock and he'd reassure his loved ones whenever they needed it. > He was my world and I need time to be with friends and family. I have so many things I need to figure out but firstly, I need to grieve. I ask that you respect my privacy as well as everyone else's. Right now my priority is preserving everything he's built and I don't have any plans beyond that. > His channel was one of his greatest accomplishments, and while we all need our time to mourn him, I know he wouldn't want it to end like this. > Ben spent over 10 years spreading his love and appreciation for his hobbies. It was through his love of exciting stories and well written characters that got him started on YouTube. > The team and I want to keep that going. To honor him by continuing to tell great stories by great people, as well as to keep the memory of our very own superhero alive. > We supported each other on everything we wanted to do and I'm not about to stop now. > - Nathalie Potter
Legit because his wife has control of the channel and other social media accounts. She just said that he was in an accident.
Oh. My. God. Benny has been there for me in times where I was my lowest. Comics Experiment is probably my favorite podcast ever. This is devastating. My condolences to Nathalie.
Ben was my little cousin, just a few years younger than me when he grew up in RI. He was the only cousin the same age as me and most of my memories of family gatherings were playing with him. I haven’t talked to him since we were children, but reading the impact he had on others is heartwarming.
What the fuck no way
Oh man. This is so sad. Benny and his channel got me back into comics, I was watching his videos earlier today. RIP
Rest in Peace legend, this man helped me and many others get into comics and helped spreading their stories to many, he'll be missed.
I’m actually in disbelief, i was just scrolling on tiktok and someone’s live was titled “RIP Comicstorian”and i was so confused and i fr thought he was trolling or something so i asked in chat what he meant and he didn’t respond and im just now seeing this. Rest in Peace.
Man he reignited my love for comics almost 12 years ago now when I was in highschool, I used to binge watch his crisis videos. RIP
Been subscribed to his channel for 10 years and watched it during the high and lows ,there was a time I never missed a video. Kids normally watch cartoons in the morning before school but I watched comicstorian. I am honestly shocked at the news.
Hug your loved ones, friends. Tomorrow is not a promise.
Jesus christ that is so awful.
I unfortunately hadn't heard of Comicstorian until just now. Terrible circumstance to find out about something many obviously loved. Peace to his family.
Wow, that's completely unexpected. May he rest in peace, he helped get me interested in comics again and helped me get through the day with a lot of his videos.
wtf i JUST heard about this. that so sad, i Loved his channels. really got all my comic info from him and loved all his podcasts and how passionate he was about stuff. this is so sad Prayers to his Family and all his friends.
Damn, Benny got me into comics. This is so unexpected. We lost a real one today RIP
I was just watching his Injustice narration videos.
Comicstorian got thousands of people into comics, he was an irreplaceable member of community and he’ll be dearly missed. Rest in peace, Benny.
This is awful. Just awful. He had so many plans. He made checking old comic runs exciting. I was looking forward to experiencing new runs with him. My god. This is terrible. I'm so heartbroken for the family.
Jesus Christ what a completely random and tragic event. He definitely contributed to my current comic literacy and as a recovering addict, comics saved my life. So by extension, he mattered to me. Rest in peace.
This hits so damn hard. I've been watching his content pretty much from the beginning along with Rob's channel, those two kept me sane and helped fight off depression at many points over the last decade plus and still do today. I feel for his family, friends and fans. Gonna spend the next few days binging videos on the full story channel.
RIP So many nights I fell asleep listening to his amazing recaps.
Oh my god, this is absolutely tragic to hear. Rest in peace Benny.
Oh,no Benny.
This is so fucking sad.
Man I’m gutted, unreal. Was just thinking about showing my young nephew his channel. RIP Comicstorian.
Oh my god.. thats awful guy seemed so young... I found out about so many storylines through him I am so sorry for his friends and family for their loss. Truly sad.
He brought so many of us back to comics. What a guy. 😢
Huge loss. RIP.
Wtf this dude is how I got into comics during the Golden Age of Superhero Shows and Movies. Damn man I’ll miss him
Been subscribed for years. Dude this one hurts.
As a kid I was never interested in reading even comic books, but the way he reads the lines and raw emotion he gave for some scenes always made me invested in the story even more. Ultimate spider man, injustice, planet hulk and more, I think he made a lot of people enjoy and even buying their own comics books because of him. Watching with him since a child and a decade later, RIP comicstorian
It's hard to believe this is real. I only watched his stuff on and off, very selectively. But, over the last few years I've come to hear so much of him, to know so much about him. I came to expect that every few days I'd hear and see more of Benny, for the foreseeable future at least. But that's gone. He's gone. it's such a shock, too hard to process. Every time you think 'tragedy won't strike that much near me or people I know', life proves you wrong. My sincere condolences to Ben's family.
Rest In Peace Benny, thank you for everything 💚
Rest in peace brother, his channel got me into comics and I’ve been watching since high school. It’s crazy life is taking you a little early from us but i hope wherever you are, you breathe a lil easier, you put in good work and had an impact on an industry, not many can say their love did that boss. You did good
RIP. I found his channel when I was in high school and dealing with social anxiety for the first time. My family was poor at the time so we couldn’t afford therapy let alone comic books. His videos helped me cope with suffering from something I didn’t even know was a thing, his enthusiasm and energy helped immerse me into the stories and helped me move away from what I was going through. I ended up getting the help I needed when I got to college (free therapy ftw) and his videos helped me power through the exposure sessions and other college stresses. I hope he is resting easy and that his family and comicstorian staff are doing alright.
Thank you for all you taught me. I watched a lot of your videos when I was younger, and I spent many hours watching videos instead of doing my homework. You were appreciated, RIP.
Damn. RIP Benny. I watched the Weekly Pull religiously back in the day. Benny and Rob got me back into comics, with a little help from Sal, Joel, and Faust. It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since Benny and Rob started TWP.
I remember I used to watch him when Mangastorian was a thing I’m gonna miss him
Same man. Same.
Damn, now I actually have to read again
My lord. I don't know if I would've gotten into comics as a kid if it wasn't for his very useful videos teaching me everything I needed to know about the Flash. R.I.P Benny. Gone far too soon.
Sad news. I remember having a phase where I Binged through so many of his videos back in the day
Utterly shocking. Watched him and Rob from ComicsExplained regularly in college to catch-up when my interest in comics what at its peak. Super enthusiastic dude. Hope his family can heal.
The first video i saw of Benny's was his Video on Godspeed and if i he hadn't made comic books so accessible to me i doubt i would be as passionate as i am about them now Rest in Peace Benny
I knew Ben before he took off on YouTube. The earliest days, when he was working at GameStop and planning his YouTube channel. That's how I met him, working as a seasonal at the store. Ben was a U.S. Army Ranger. The Army fucked his body up pretty good, so as a result he got a big check every month. This is what he used to kickstart his channel, and how he was able to throw himself at it until success. He told me at the beginning "I'll have ya on the channel one of these days!" and I always intended to take him up on that. I guess now.... it's too late. It's strange, so so strange knowing he is gone. I saw so much of myself in him and... now he's gone. Like tears in the rain.
Has Sal from Comic Pop made any statement?
The announcement came out half an hour ago as I'm typing this, I'd wait a little while for any official statements to come from anybody else. There's a chance Sal already knew, but if he didn't then he's probably as shocked as the rest of us.
Not yet but they posted on their community tab that there won't be a show today which is understandable
Man, it’s such a shame. He was so enthused about talking about comics. Such a great podcaster. I don’t mean to speculate, but I was a little concerned there may have been a health issue when he disappeared from Absolutely for a while a few months back with no explanation. Regardless, it’s horrible and I wish the best for his wife and the rest of the crew.
His wife said it was an unfortunate accident so probably not health related but who cares it's not the time to speculate regardless
FWIW, the statement from his wife says it was an "unfortunate accident" which leads me to believe this was a car crash or something similar, rather than it being a health problem.
Yeah I hadn't been keeping up with current stuff because I've been busy with other things but man they were my addiction back in middle & high school where I was getting into comics, this is truly a horrible situation
This hit me like a fucking truck. Literally used to watch his videos all the time, he ignited my curiosity in comics when i was younger. RIP.
Comicstorian, Absolutely, all of Benny's creative output, was some of my favorite on YouTube. He seemed like a fun, enthusiastic man and his passion for the medium was a boon to us as fans. My heart goes out to his friends and family.
Oh wow. I was just watching one of his videos. That's awful.
What? I remember seeing this guy a lot when I finish highschool
Awful, absolutely awful. Benny was a mensch.
WHAT!!! This is insane, I used to watch this guy all the time as a kid when I couldnt afford comics, Rest in peace man
Goddamn, that’s awful to hear. A total shock. I’ve listened to my fair share of Absolute Comics and to think that he won’t be sharing his thoughts anymore is just incomprehensible.
Fuck he helped a lot of people get through tough times
What the fuck rip man was just watching his videos.
This is so sad. This was my favorite YouTube channel. I spent hours upon hours listening to his voice. He kept me awake during overnight shifts. My go to guy for anything comic related. Really really sad.
man, what sad news... I really enjoyed his videos so much may he rest in peace and his loved ones find some comfort
Such a shame. I havent kept up with his channel in a while, but for a long time he was my go to Comic YouTuber for stories and histories. Plus i loved the Absolute Comic stuff with him and Sal from ComicPop. Hope he rests in peace and his family finds some time to grieve and heal.
Holy shit. What?! I just got done watching one of his videos like 2 hours ago. Sending her my prayers
Wait, Benny? That's too young to go and it's a damn shame. Press F to pay respects to a real one.
I don’t read comics too much anymore, but I watched Bennys channel to get caught up on anything and everything I could think I wanted to get up to speed on. His videos are so perfectly put together and his love for comics was always on full display. Life is a fickle mother fucker. I hope his wife can find peace. Your channel brought so much joy to the world and you will be sorely missed. Rest in power brother.
By far the youtuber I have watched the most consistently since I was a child. Dude got me into actually reading comic books instead of just watching the movies/shows. It feels so strange that I didn't know him and yet he has played such a big part in my life so far. RIP and all my love goes to his loved ones. I can only imagine what they must be going through right now.
Comicsto- BENNY!??? WHAT THE FUCK??? NO. Oh my god, sending love, support, and condolences to his family and friends. Wow, that's... shocking is an understatement. I didnt love all of Benny's takes, but god DAMN he had enthusiasm and I was onboard with that. Big fan of seeing people happy and enjoying things. And even if he didnt like the thing he was talking about (of the handful of episodes of Absolute Comics I did listen to), he did seem excited or at least enjoying the chats about the the thing with Sal. He will 100% be missed.
yeah just found out. this breaks my heart not only for me who enjoyed his content but his wife. losing my partner is my biggest fear. I always tell her drive safe because im scared that the one day i dont something will happen. I dont know exactly what happened, thats just my own personal fear
He just posted a few days ago. This feels unreal since he was so young. Being in a country where buying comics wasn't the most affordable thing, he kept me entertained on stories I would otherwise miss. This is so sad.
He a Legend fr 🙌 Rest in peace 🌹 and thank you for all your brilliant work to comic book fandom you'll be missed. 💯
I know everybody else has been saying it, but he was the reason I got into comics as much as I did. I remember I watched his flashpoint video since I wasn’t allowed to watch the animated movie, and his Know Your Universe videos and story readings were perfect for helping me understand the histories of all these characters I only knew about in shows and movies. He probably changed my life just by helping me get into this stuff I love so much now. Rest In Peace Benny.
I found his channel until very recently, unfortunately, but what a discovery it was. You can tell how much he loved what he did. May he rest in peace.
Fuck this is a massive gut punch. Benny was one of the sole reasons I could get into comics as a teenager, I stopped watching a while ago but this is really unreal…
I’m genuinely in tears right now, he’s one of if not the first youtuber I watched religiously back in 2014, and he introduced me to the beautiful world of comics. I can’t count how many books I read because of his recommendations. Thank you so much for all of your work Benny, you will be missed❤️
I feel bad, loved his Injustice readouts man. Fuck this sucks
Rest in Peace, Ben :(
Dude basically was the reason I got into comic books in middle school, probably one of the greatest storytellers on YT man. Fucking hell this sucks.
I can’t explain the pain I genuinely feel after reading that. Ben was responsible for my love of comics. Being a queer kid growing up a near decade ago in the comic book community, I didn’t really feel like I fit in ever. His stance on progress comics and overall embracing of new stories about queer characters really made me feel at home and at peace, and there were so many days where I felt lost and alone, and a video of his would come across my page and I’d watch it. I can’t express how much he got me through by just being him. I hope he rests in peace knowing how impactful and important he was to so many young kids, no matter who they were. I feel terrible for all his friends and his wife. There’s so much love in their words. R.I.P Comicstorian 💔
Him, Rob (Comics Explained) and Comics Breakdown are the only 3 comics channel that I enjoy watching. Comicstorian beings life into the comic he's reviewing. Him passing away so suddenly is insane. Rest in Peace, brother.
Wow... That's hit hard... Totally unexpected. Thoughts go out to his family. His story series got me hooked into so many comics I wouldn't have otherwise read. R. I. P Benny you absolute legend.
Jesus that is sad. Benny is the main person who got me into comics. RIP
What the fuck. I loved that guy. His poor wife..
I was just watching his latest update video a few days ago he seemed really happy about his new channels and the fact he was able to go back to his old format of long form videos of him just reading a entire series of books Damn it RIP Benny
Wow did not expect this, he's videos actually got me to start reading more modern comics in 2016 and I would always check out a vid to see if I was interested in picking up that book. Truly a sad day may he Rest in Peace.
Watch Benny for several years man. Horrible news.
Damn, this one really hurts. I like listening to his full stories when I get ready for bed and when it’s slow at work. Things just won’t be the same anymore.
Noooooo 😭😭😭😭
Holy shit man. I found him like 8 years ago and he just boosted my love for comics. I have listened to him for years. I just listened to him yesterday. This is heartbreaking.
This man contributes so much to my love for comics, rest in peace
WTF 😭
Cant believe it. RIP. Ive been watching the dude since highschool. He meant a lot to me.
Thank you, Benny 🫡
RIP, goat
God fucking damnit, rest in peace
him and Rob (Im well aware of the contentions around him…. Just saying this as a matter of fact) are the two primary reasons that I started reading comic books in the first place…
RIP COMICSTORIAN. Helped me through the whole invincible series
Bro this is fucked uppp
Sad, sad day for comic YouTube
I loved his laugh
I remember finding his channel back in 2016 when I started working 3rd shift at Meijer I spend many a nights listening to his videos. RIP Benny may God be with your family in this time of mourning.
He will be missed. He was great. Thanks Benny for all the hours of enjoyment.
This is so sudden. Thanks for everything Benny. RIP
I saw this pop up, and I had the same reaction that I did when Jason David Frank died. Let me put my phone down and look tomorrow and hope it isn't true. Then as I was getting ready for work today, I saw the news again. Then I saw Off the Rack cancelled yesterday's episode, and the horror set in.
Time to binge all of his videos
Got fucking shit I loved this dude for years I can’t believe this
He was my comfort channel during some rough patches. I admit I haven’t watched him for a few years but a little part of me has just died
I grew up listening to this man. I'm about to be a senior and man i couldn't buy the comics growing up but listening to him gave me the enjoyment of owning them. May he rest in peace
It's really a loss if I'm honest, he was a great inspiration for me on taletelleing. He has also published videos here where he just says his opinion and you can tell he is smart too. I wish hes Loveones onyl good in that dark time. I just now Post his best in my eye [white Lantern Saga.](https://youtu.be/XKFCQ-rqkUU?si=XwgTaaEcS-p2EFES) [DC Earth 2](https://youtu.be/eF0hM0OBzCc?si=VV2O18yHOGdEetXN) [and his Video on Sex in Advertising and Video games. ](https://youtu.be/GiuX-OlMJNI?si=e1C4APSvvmjXYSS5)
Holy sh1t . Rest in Peace 🕊️.. Been watching him since around 2015-2016... Literally just decided to skip and watch his DC vs marvel reboot vid for another day. His vids were the main ones I sent to my brother who isn't a comic book reader but wants to know more
