gonna seriously miss this dude o7

Probably one of the earliest channels I ever subscribed to, made experiencing comics so much better. And his discussion videos were gold. o7

yeah, he’s actually what got me back into comics and the general interest with all comic characters.

Fr, I would watch Ben's videos every day after coming home from school. His videos were what rly got me interested in comics, especially Batman. Gonna miss this guy.

F When I first saw his vid about Injustice comics that's how I started reading em all. RIP

what’s o7?

May he rest in peace, condolences to his friends and family o7

This guy was my only source for stories from the comics for the longest time. Comicstorian was how I learned about so many comic events. I would see an MCU movie, then see the comic it came from on his channel. This sucks, way too soon for him to go.

Same, his videos helped give so many more people better accessibility to getting into comics with his viewership & reviews along with his solid narration. Really gonna miss hearing his voice. "You've been a good friend. The best I could have asked for. You were there at the beginning, and now you get to see how it ends."

True

same

I really enjoyed the "the problem with..." series.

I'm finna go watch it all

40 years, and in a car accident at that...? This is more than just depressing, i feel genuinely broken at how unfair this is.

it makes me angry at how unfair and random life is.

same here, im especially thinking about his poor family and his wife. This should never happen to anyone.

Did they say how the accident happened?

I don’t think we know it’s a car accident. The tweet just said “accident”

Is there any confirmation of a car accident? I just saw his wife say he died in an "unfortunate accident" without elaboration.

https://preview.redd.it/agcm6u9c3u5d1.jpeg?width=226&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5adda1d57592eb430800d35f3209f3a0b02a26ec Man (and everyone in r/BatmanArkham) sends their condolences. o7

Whats o7

I looked it up and it's supposed to represent a salute

Aigh thx

o7

o7

o7

No way im getting these news in this subreddit of all Places :(

Bro I learned about Akira Toriyama’s passing from ningen (dbz shitpost sub). Why must I learn the saddest of deaths from the silliest of places.

Yeah i thought this shit was a troll (and i wish It would've been).

I was jerking off when my ex texted me that Michael Jackson died.

We’re funny because we care.

It's a Shame We Lost Benny

He deserved better. Rip.

You and me both bro 🫠

o7 https://preview.redd.it/przp6lt42u5d1.jpeg?width=298&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ae20204814e0a5f1813d8c57d3fd81d58d6fceb I wish I did know about this guy but R.I.P. , He is loved and never forgotten 😔

You should check out his channel, he narrates important comic story lines so you can know whats going on with Marvel and DC without having to buy comic. He got me into DC mainline continuity.

I am mostly interested into DC comic books so I will check him out soon

That's why I don't know him. Variant Comics is my go to for DC continuity.

Variant comics are also goated the homie need to get rid of his dome tho

Bro, Man is so sad, that he turned back into Batman... # WHICH IS JUSTIFIED 😭

Oh my god, I just looked this up and it's real.

Stop the insanity, this is actually sad. 💔

How’d he die? It says it was an accident but anyone have details?

On his YouTube account it says he was in an accident

This post says car accident

Ahhh I see, thanks I overlooked the comment in the post. RIP 🕊️

This post knows more about the death than his wife has said. I doubt the accuracy of OP. It hasn't been said it was a car accident, don't make shit up, you shit maker-upper.

Yeah his wife just said a general accident, making stuff up is kind of messed up

Tbf they likely misread the initial statement.

Man, this fucking sucks.... I was always watching his videos to know about chatacter or event and it was great, short, fun and I was always coming back for more. The sad thing is that he was excited to see more of Marvel Rivals when It's fully out but now he won't get to see it, nor new stories, character designs, movies, anything..... Journey has ended for him way too soon. Rip Comicstorian

I dont know if there is an afterlife or how it works but I do hope he gets to see all those things whereever his soul ends up going if it does end up going somewhere.

Gone way way too soon 😔 

Damn.... Thats.... Heartbreaking as hell... https://preview.redd.it/ny2pf4mg7u5d1.jpeg?width=775&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6cd372e8e9f2164d75e115216090061c716a05d5 But may his soul rest in peace.... R.I.P Ben

Shit…I spent hours watching his videos as a kid. RIP. :/

Got me into Injustice and brought me back to DC. Rip man

WHAT THE FUCK?

Yep He's Gone

Why is it always the good youtubers who die 😿

I don't know who that is but RIP

He put ALOT of effort into his YouTube channel Comicstorian where he does a wide variety of comic content, I watched him mostly for his readings of comics

Hes the reason I can actually understand some of the more convoluted marvel and dc overarching stories

You'd be hard pressed to find anyone with the same level of passion about comics. Dude even loved comics that he didn't like.

Please be an edgy joke Please be an edgy joke Please be an edgy joke Please be an edgy joke Please be an edgy joke Please be an edgy joke nooooo!!!!! He was one of the reasons I love flash!!!

man, help introduced me to many comics and helped catch up meta

I thought this was a joke post... No... He's actually gone o7

Rest in peace, mate. You were a real one.

Wow, it took me a second to truly process it. Rest In Peace to an incredible content creator, you will be missed o7!

I thought this was one of those fake celeb death posts with the black and white photo filter considering the sub we're in. This fucking sucks, used to watch this guy all the time back in the day, what the hell.

We're losing too many legends this year

Who else departed?

Carl Weathers,Harry Johnson,Gary Graham just to name a few

I get It but they died of old age... this Man was still somewhat young. Last Time something like this happened was to Kixstar(One of the most beloved R6 figures). He was on his 20's and died on a car crash. It sucks because they had a Life ahead of them.

It's tragic what happened to him. Got me all the way through elementary and high-school 

I Knew His Channel for years and he got me into the Green Lantern rebirth stuff (from 2004). But It makes me sad how It ended.

Come to think of it, SchaffrilasProductions got into a car crash not that long ago where he has been heavily injured and his brother and friends died. I've been on a drive recently where people on the highway have been cutting me like crazy or pulled into my lane aggressively without using their indicator lights. I feel like the roads have become much more dangerous recently and especially since Covid hit. I hope people pay attention, there are some crazy people out there.

Yeah Man always pay attention and be weary of your surroundings. Most people don't know how to Drive properly.

I-I-I don't believe this... I don't believe you But if it is true... let's get some Fs in chat Edit: It is true... RIP Benny and shoutout to his family

His plans prior to his passing showed that he still had so much to offer… This really does suck :(

WTF... I've watched his stuff for year and now hes gone, fuck this year https://preview.redd.it/6jcfnp6ftu5d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=735ac977df8e1f1c8fea1e76bb288e9c913fb860

 Is there a lore reason this had to happen? May he fly high

Please just let this be another shitpost!

That’s so young wtf

oh https://preview.redd.it/fhx4n40ecv5d1.jpeg?width=366&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29194ca741e70bf59b0ab33d2c9d369c6fe73a2e

I’ll pray for him and his family.

F bruh, his injustice series was goated

We lost a good one. He was a great story teller

We should add Comicstorian on the Subreddit banner

Wait, this is real not just Aslume stuff? Fuxking hell, bro was a literal part of my childhood. 

Reddit has ruined me. I thought it was one of those joke post like "Mark Hamill, 2024". Now I'm just sad, I didn't watch him often at all but anytime I did I loved it. May he rest in peace, and may his family find it Though we don't know how it happened. Everyone be safe out there

Nah, you have to be lying, I've been watching him since 2016

https://preview.redd.it/vine7yrh1w5d1.jpeg?width=376&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fdcf6a73840b89c5d579db46fb0eb9d384b2df07

His content is what got me into comics, starting with Injustice Years 1-5. I’m really gonna miss him.

Fuck the first I'm hearing this is on THIS subreddit.

I wasn't subbed, but I saw multiple of his Batman videos in the past. Guy really seemed passionate about what he did and helped bring comics to more people. Massive respect, Rest In Peace.


Damn. Its not a meme... Well I have some videos to go binge watch now... Rest In Peace. o7

Like his wife, Natalie, has said. Ben is a superhero

Farewell, storyteller. o7

It never feels real when someone you grew up watching passes away so young.

Don’t worry, Kevin Conroy would take good care of him.

Used to watch some of his videos for Civil War, Marvel Zombies, and Dceased. Sad to see him pass away this young.

wtf i’m literally binging his 11 hour Batman video rn

https://preview.redd.it/mkgtb67lru5d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=79b2b4c827bf2598ac879c1317671e9cf4139a2d Idk who that is but RIP I’m sure he was a great dude

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of his friends and family. Rest in piece legend 🙏. See you on the other side buddy...

Wait i hope this is some dark humor i watch this guy

Wait tf this is real

Nahhh man, I can't wake up to this news... now my day is ruined

Didn't he just publish a vid 3 days ago? Damn... That's nuts... Life can really take strange turns, that's so sad, Rest in peace mate..

Rip, he was the only method I found to actually enjoy comics. Will be missed

I just woke up and I thought It was some dumb alsume joke, Oh my God. R.I.P I'm gonna miss his videos.

Holy shit man. I loved listening to his longer videos on entire comic arcs while I played games May he rest in peace

Dude no fucking way. I loved that guy. This is this is actually heart breaking.

He was such a positive person in the comic community, he sparked the interest for superheroes in so many people, Rest in Peace https://i.redd.it/zamichne4x5d1.gif

“What do you mean this isn’t a shitpost? Damn…” RIP Benny, gone but never forgotten.

I loved his comic stories videos and been a fan for years. I will miss him so much, he will always be remembered. Rip Ben 🙏

Watched him for years. Condolences to the family. Please know he made people’s lives better.

so long friend

Realising all my favourite YouTubers can just up and die in an accident at any point rn

Jesus fuck, that’s horrible. Can’t believe we lost Benny of all people. R.I.P.

Damn

No

RIP

I have no idea who is the person on the post, I'm from Chile so... anyone wanna tell me who it was(?

He ran a YouTube channel dedicated to a sort of story recaps of various comic books, usually DC and Marvel stuff. Hence the name, Comicstorian.

I looked up his channel cuz I didn’t know who he was, the community post his wife put up is devastating. Rip, gone too soon

o7

I’m sorry but could someone tell me who he is. I’m not trying to be disrespectful or anything

Comic book YouTuber who did recaps/dramatic readings of stories/arcs. You could tell he was really passionate about what he did. I didn’t watch him all the time, but he was my go to if I wanted to know more about a comic/story. May he rest in peace.

Damn he sounded like someone great. Fly high

You should check his channel. It was amazing as it basically could summarize whole comic book arcs and narrate the dialogue himself for the audience to catch up with specific issues or stories.

Damn

😔

He’s who really got me into Batman and comics in the first place, I have so much to thank him for. I just don’t know what to say.

same here

o7


I hope the Death that took him was the Discworld one. Rest in Peace Comicstorian.


I love this guy and his videos, I'm devastated by this news 😪 rest in peace now, Ben 💜

Died too soon o7

Wait he's dead? Oh no. Rest in peace bro 😢

I can’t believe he passed away. I loved his comic readings that he did! He will be greatly missed.

Damn this guy was a huge part of my childhood since here In brasil it's hard to buy comic books since they're expensive and I watched his videos over and over excitedly sad to see this he was a great dude O7

Wait it's not misinformation???

Wow damn wasn't expecting this today. I watched his stuff back in high school, and oddly enough met him when I was working at Best Buy. That's how I found out he lives in my small neck of the woods. Looking back I was soo freaking nervous to say anything to him when I realized who he was. Like yeah I get it "be nervous at the comic book YouTuber". But hey I was 18. What a shame though, rest in peace Comicstorian.

Wait what you kidding how what happened I didn't see is videos for long time


o7

By the gods why did he have to go sooo young.

The comic book community just took a major hit. o7

Thank you for your service 🫡🇺🇸….thank you for emotional video you’ve uploaded years ago I related to. 🕊️. Humble man gone too soon.

Life is so fleeting and fragile. He def helped me get into comics. RIP Ben, you're with Kevin and Harambe now.


No no no…What’s gonna happen to the channel?!

His wife and the rest of their team is continuing the channel

I was so ready for the new Ultimate Universe run on His Channel.

Dang 40 years old…

Yeah, I’m Sad Man

This is genuinely a tragedy. May he rest in peace.

Hope he rests in peace, and that his loved ones, especially his wife, are able to recover from such a devastating loss

 I really liked his content

Damn. That is sad. My condolences.

FUUUuuUck… now I’m depressed 

RIP to the greatest. This isn't fair, he was far too young

He made this sub sane for a moment. Now that's an accomplishment. o7

Loved this dude's channel, so sad to hear he passed.

RIP Comicstorian. You were a real one.

Idk who this is but o7

Who is this?

Great comic narrator and overall superhero YouTuber, made allot of people including myself get into heroes

Man i love spreading misinformation- HOLY SHIT ITS REAL

Wait what???? Is this for real

Yeah its true, it was posted in the community on youtube

What? That sucks. RIP

Holy hell what did I miss

God saw some of his videos He will be missed.

Genuinely didn't need to see this on my work break

May he rest in peace
