@@mananimal3644 Benny's wife Nathalie just posted it was an "unfortunate accident". I don't want to speculate but since Rob of Comics Explained just saw him shortly before it occurred, it must have been really sudden maybe doing something innocuous.

I've never cried at a celebrity or content creators passing, as sad as some of them made me. But Benny... I'm fighting back tears typing this. Bawled when I found out thru Rob's video. They say you don't know how much someone means to you until they're gone. He gave so much to so many, I'm just one of millions who got thru dark times with Benny by our side getting us excited and lost in the comic stories he brought to life. I'm gonna miss his iconic "KRAKAKOOM", comics won't be the same without him 😢

I remember the first time I met him. I was tongue-tied, but he still took time to talk to me on his way to get Nat some money from the ATM. Afterwards, we had a cool conversation. As a wise man said, he was a big guy with a big voice, a big heart, and a big presence. I know his future plans would have been amazing. Miss you, Benny. As Dr. Hiriluk said, we will remember you forever. Rest well, Benny.

I will never forget the person that Got me to Love the Agent Venom run and telling me why he related to that storyline. R.I.P.

He got the ET treatment 😮! Benny will be missed by so many.

He was my favorite channel to watch and his narration telling was the best part of it RIP 🙏🏽

I got off work a few hours ago and pulled my phone out because I wanted to look at something on KZread and I saw the news and it broke me. I’ve been subscribed to his channel for so long. I don’t remember. He just covered the crossover comic with DC comics and the monster verse, and he did such a great job like he always did. I just can’t believe this. in a time where everyone that starts a KZread channel just to sit up there and complain constantly about something they claim to love his was a positive place where you just had a smile on your face while you watched his videos. Rest In Peace Ben. Thank you for everything brother 🙏

Damn, did not expect ET of all places to cover his passing. Well done.

Just found out and mann, we lost a good one. Huge unfortunate news, always looked up to this guy as a fellow comic book guy. Best wishes to the family and friends

Very heart breaking to hear this man is gone. Taken way too soon. My condolences to his family I loved his videos made me pick up Old Man Logan after listening to his video about it.

I used to spend hours listening to his retelling of comics...only way I learned about Last Ronin...gonna miss this guy...Glad he's being acknowledged for his good work😢

Thank you for honoring this man and showing respect to the medium he loved. It is heartening to see his presence and the gifts he offered through his KZread channel have been recognized by mainstream media. He deserved it. My son and I have bonded over comics all of his life and he and I both loved Comicstorian.

I am still in shock and disbelief. He was such a positive influence for all fans of comics and also reignited many people's love for comics. He will greatly be missed.

This is shocking! We lost another legend. Ben...we will never forget you. You are what made most people interested in comics. Thank you Ben for everything. ❤

This really hits my heart. I spent countless hours listening to him at work as I was drawing and creating my own characters. He will be missed.
