This is a really beautiful tribute for your friend, Rob. We are so sorry for your loss. Benny was a massive voice in our space and a hero to many. Lots of love, prayers and condolences from the entire Variant team. 😞

Legit birthed a whole generation of new comic book lovers . Thank you Ben and Rob 🙏🏿.

Beautiful video. RiP Benny. You will be missed.

I’m a college student now, but you and Benny essentially raised me since middle school on comics. You guys got me through a lot of times. I really hope you realize how loved both you and Benny are.

Beautifully spoken mate

Rest in peace man, you guys mean so much to a lot of people and have been a massive foundation in people loving comic books

You and Benny literally made me feel comfortable expressing myself as a comic book lover. He will be missed

He was the very reason I kept up with all Comics an Chapters. His Iconic voice was truly the Holy Grail of Comic Breakdown page by page🙌.

You and Comicstorian taught me everything and the passion about comics as an European. Thank you for everything Ben and Rob.

Rip Benny, the two of you is how I got into comics for the past decade!

You guys are the reason my sons and I got into comics. We were saddened when we heard about Benny.

Ive fallen asleep to you and comic historian for the better part of a year. Im so sorry for your loss

This broke my heart. Prayers to Benny and family.

I spent hours and hours going between Comicstorian and Comics Explained through the years. They gave us the storytelling worth of various generations of comics books. For me, they created the love for fantasy stories and what lessons the authors can give us trough them. You'll never be forgotten, Benny

RIP Benny. Both you and Rob are my favourite when it comes to comics. Love you both.

Rob - you, Benny, and Sal are the reason I love comics and get to enjoy them as much as I do. Rest in peace Benny.

"What is grief, if not love persevering?" Think about this quote every time I think about my mom. Gives me comfort. Hope it does the same to you Rob.

A very touching tribute, Rob. I remember back in The Weekly Pull days, you and Benny were so entertaining together and you could tell you both meant a lot to each other. It's so painful to lose someone who's both a strong and integral part of the community and a great friend who always made time for others. Sending you my condolences!

Been avoiding comic recaps because of his passing. He was there for us all through our highs and lows in life. He had such a beautiful personality from what I have seen. Taking it hard cause I’ve watching him for almost a decade. It’s like losing a part of my life…he got me through shit jobs, marriage woes, boredom and errands. It’s sort of surreal because I don’t even know him yet I still mourn. Rip Benny and thank you for everything. Edit: not gonna end it on a sad note….favorite line was from his marvel zombies full story…”tchalla twinkies”. Can never talk about marvel zombies without reciting that!

You two are the very reason I’m so into comics and know about them. Thank you to you and Benny for all the work you’ve put in. Never let it be confused that we take it for granted. Thank you Benny for all your cool ass voice overs.

Benny Died?!😢 oh man he's been a part of my comic book world for over a decade. He will be greatly missed. Definitely putting the full story Playlist on tonight. RIP Benny

Your guys' videos helped me quit using heroin. I withdraw for 2 weeks keeping my head in a space only you guys, blerd without fear and dopespill could keep me in. THANK YOU, thank you Benny. Thank you Rob. You helped me and i love you guys. We love you Natalie. RIP Benny please tell the fallen ones who created our heros we love and miss them.

Rip Benny, you inspired thousands of people’s love for comics. You will be missed by us all.🙏🏻

Beatiful spoken. You two have been a reason i have such a deep passion for comics, i get caught in you’re videos just listening and expand my knowledge for these fictional characters. Sending love!

This is gonna leave a scar in comicbook history. Thank you for everything, Benny. You and Benny were entertaining and enjoyed the hype moments which got me back into comics.

Holy crap I can't count the number of times I fell asleep listening to his wonderful narrations. RIP Benny you reawaken my love comics.

You guys were the reason i got back into collecting comics. When i didn't have the funds to buy them, i kept up with them through you guys. You are great at explaining the story and Benny was a great storyteller. Lord he will be missed. ❤

You and Benny reignited my passion and love for comics and I wanted to thank you guys for that, I’m so sorry for your loss, but also so happy you had someone who affected so deeply

How many people who deal with depression and loneliness use these channels just to make it through the night? I know I have on many occasions. Both channels, Comicstorian and ComicsExplained. I just want to thank Benny for helping me out on all of those lonely nights when I needed the comfort of a classic comic tale just to get some shut eye. You will be missed. THANKS AGAIN.

This just took me completely off guard...I had no idea... I have no words. You two were some of my inspirations to start KZfaq in the first place and enhanced my love of comics. All I can say is prayers to his wife, family, coworkers, friends... Sad day, but he lives on through his videos and commentary. SMH sending good vibes your way too Rob.

I never post on these videos but today is very sad day. I enjoy all your content. I'm 64 and still watch cartoons. You guys bring the comics to life and make them more interesting. I've been listening to Benny for a few yrs now and truly enjoyed his stories.R.I.P. BENNY!! I KNOW GOD WILL LOVE your stories as well

damn this one hurts. you two are the sole reason why i enjoy comics so much. rip benny 🕊️

To this day, I still remember how exciting and fun Benny made Blackest Night for me to listen to. It’s still one of my favorite comic stories because, in part, due to how he narrated the comic. Rest in Power, Benny. Thanks for changing this nerd’s life.

You two. When I was poor and homeless kept me going. Thank you.

Potter was a good friend. Many of us who served with him in the Army miss him dearly. He'll always be one of my comic book buddies from the barracks. Never forget we was a soldier! RLTW!!

Started my comic book journey watching both of you guys, and you can tell even from Bennys intros and outros how passionate he was about comics. Rip🙏🏾

Benny and Rob were definitely the 1, 2 punch of comics on youtube. They both got me through so many long distance car rides and study sessions back in the day. R.I.P. to one of the greats.

You and Benny were the first comic-book KZfaqrs I ever saw when I started my journey through them 12 years ago. I will always be grateful. One love from Greece

It’s taken me a few days to process & think of what to even say during a time like this. I am so sorry for you terrible loss from the bottom of my heart. You’re tribute was beautiful Rob, Benny is definitely smiling down on you brother ❤ I’m old enough to remember when reading/liking Comics & Superheroes & Supervillains was definitely not something that made us part of the “cool crowd” being called a nerd back then wasn’t the in thing & a lot, if not most of us , got picked on for it. In my eyes we were & still are the coolest kids no matter how older we are now (even the people just getting into it & of all ages) this was always such a strong common bond between all of us. So to have any kind of representation come up on KZfaq was great!! I can’t even find the right words to express how much it meant for this girl, who never really felt like I fit in growing up, to find her people. It made me happy to not just think of what this means to me, but all the other people out there like me that LOVED everything about Comics & everything that came along with it. KZfaq gave us this chance to see there’s so many more of us out there who literally eat, sleep & breathe this stuff & it makes my heart fill with joy. Especially in a time where our hearts feel so sad. I may not know you all personally but I love each & every member in our extended Super-Family ❤ Benny’s contribution will NEVER be forgotten & his legacy lives on through his awesome videos but more importantly through the people who loved him, his family, friends & extended Super-Family. I think everyone agrees that you should take all the time you need Rob, no one would fault you for that, if anything I’d like to think we all agree & support you during this difficult time. Thanks Benny you were & are a true Hero! RIP 🫡

I'd watch the both of you guys continuously at night attempting to tune out the world, from endless car rides to anything in between. You both continued to grow the love for anything comicbook related for not only myself but for countless more.

You and Benny helped my poor 10 year old ass keep my passion for comics, and 10 years down the track I'm still hooked. thank you so much to you both. Rest easy Benny.

You two have been a beautiful part of my life. You both have opened doors to share MY love of comics to my own children in a way that speaks to them. My family is better because of you guys. Thank you. Rest easy, Comicstorian.

You two were and still and will always be the power couple of comic narration. I discovered both channels in the early days and would ping pong back in forth between the two channels.

You two are the real reason the MCU got so big and thank you two for so many good times he will be missed

Man, this devastated me.. You and Benny were the pillars of comic book knowledge to me. When my broke ass couldn't afford to buy the comic, i would wait for you and Benny to talk about that comic. Rest in peace, Comicstorian.

Sorry for your lose, I bet you to had some amazing conversations about comics/movies/life etc. I wish I could have seen you too in action on a comic subject or any topic for that matter.

I popped this video open in a new tab as soon as I saw it. I watched about a minute and then I clicked away. I just couldn't deal. It took me two weeks to get back to it. I'm sorry about your friend. You guys have been a regular part of my life for nearly a decade now. Things will never be the same, but we carry on with the memory of those we've loved and lost. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. RIP Benny and his stinky feet.

RIP Benny. Benny, Rob, and Sal made the trinity of comic book pop culture here on KZfaq.

I literally clicked on this video thinking I was getting a fun Disneyland vlog where Benny runs off... now I'm here on the verge of tears... Damn... RIP to the man who made countless people smile and laugh.

What an absolute heartbreak, I discovered this channel in my early teen years. Listening to Benny's voice tell magnificent stories was definitely the highlight of my days and I'd be lying if i said it didn't influence the person I am today. Rest in peace Benny, your memory is as infinite as the stories you told.

You're a good man Rob. What a beautiful send off for Benny. He got me through some.dark times without ever knowing keeping me company on the long drives for work. May he rest in peace. Hope you the family and the extended family are holding up, much love ❤️

Sorry Rob. Your strength and resolve to speak about your friend says everything. Prayers out to his family, friends, and fans of his work. Going to miss you Benny!!!

Powerful words Rob. I grew up watching you, Benny, and comic pop during my darkest times. Even until this day. He was a good man. My condolences.

Your strength and resilience may even surprise you. Benny was a hero to many and my childhood would be very different if I never discovered his channel and then yours. Thank you for undertaking this journey and thank you for continuing to honor his memory.

I only just saw this. All my condolences to you. Benny was one hell of a showman, and his voice and energy will be missed.

You and Benny are the reason I started reading comics. He will be missed.

It still feels unreal. My sincere condolences Rob.

Just started rewatching benny again after long time of not watching much comics stuff cuz of loss of interest but benny really brought me back with all the times I would watch the full story series like I’ve listened to the night wing full story video dozens of times while working on cars and the obvious stories like the injustice year 1-5 and the new 52 run of Batman but some of my favorites were when benny would do wholesome issues of Batman, Superman or Spider-Man with them doing things like the double date with Batman and Superman or how Superman would literally make a deal and lie to darkseid all to save a little girl that had nothing special to offer simply cuz Superman wants to save everyone no matter what and I’m ngl i was into comics for all the cool stuff but after reading those issues and hearing benny cover them i looked into other similar stories like the issue where Deadpool helps a suicidal girl or when Superman tells nightwing that he’s been a huge inspiration to him since despite all the pain behind Batman he was always a light of hope so with all that being said, Thank you benny for showing me that comics are for everyone and for reading my favorite issues dramatically back to me Rest In Paradise❤❤

It was 2020, I was dealing with covid, and as I lay in bed bored, I found one of his videos covering injustice. I hadn't read a comic in forever, but listening to him do his voiceovers brought me back into the fold. I was a fan from that moment on. Thanks for the Stories Benny, you'll be missed.

You and Benny are the only 2 people I can listen to for hours upon hours. He will be greatly missed by us all who had the chance of listening to his work. Thank you both

You and Benny got me more in to dc and marvel. Both legends. Comic companies owe you both alot.

Comicstorian is the channel that got me fully into reading. Making me fall in love with dc comics. although i stopped watching a couple years ago comicstorian will have a small place in my heart

You and Benny were the one-two punch of KZfaq Comics. Thank you Benny, for all the comic book history you cataloged and voiced over in epic fashion.

Rob, its because of you and your channel that I even found Benny the Comicstorian!! Thank you so much for that! Beautiful tribute, Ik Benny would appreciate all the kind words! RIP Benny, you will be missed by your family, friends, and your undying fanbase! You gave us so much knowledge, entertainment, and happy moments that will forever be in our minds and hearts! 🙏❤💔 Thank you for everything Benny!!!

I first started listening to comics from you and Benny which was Dceased. I listen to your guys' videos on Dceased about 3-4 times a year each, I just came back to listen to it and I found out this news 1 month later. Im so sorry on everyone parts, this was tragic. I WILL NOT stop listening to both of your Dceased videos.

Been watching/hearing you for year's....this is very brave and beautiful Rob. I'd imagine this is exact how he would want to be remembered by you....God bless man 🙏🏽

You and Benny are the reason everyone I know comes to me for anything comic related. He had the best voice. RIP Benny. Love to you, Rob.

Im 52 years old and blubbering like a baby. I feel like i lost a friend I've known for over 10 years. RIP Benny. You are a legend and should be remembered fondly by the entire comic book industry as someone that introduced many new fans to comics as well as revitalized old fans that may have stepped away (me). I tuned in regularly to see what Rob and Benny posted. I remember wanting to find out about the Celestials and typed in "Celestial explained" in the youtube search just to have a video pop up saying "The Celestials Explained." Apparently Rob knew what I wanted because the video had only been up less than a week. After that I discovered this dude that read stories dramatically and mispronounced ALOT of words especially names. I was then sucked in and was once again a fan of comics. Rob and Benny caught me up and also gave me an appreciation for DC. I was a strict rabid Marvel fan. Robs description of Benny, "he has his own gravity and people are drawn to him" reminds me so much of my childhood friend I lost on 9/11. Mark Bingham was exactly like that. He was commonly referred to as "the human Labrador", just this fun energetic goofball that everyone loved.

Legends Never Die. Benny, you'll be with us and our offspring forever. Thank you Rob. Your words encapsulate all of our feelings.

The stories healed me I now feel more close to comicstorian outside of just comics because of you

Been watching both you & Benny since you were trying to reach 400k subs. I'm a 30 yr old dude, run my own business and don't get a tonne of social interaction. Listening to you lads talk about things you're so passionate about and sharing that with me/us means a lot and has got me through some difficult days. I'm terribly sorry for your loss Rob, losing a friend is not easy, have also been there. Take solace in the fact there's nothing but fond memories there and both of you are probably the reason each other is where you're at today. Love you both - Rip Benny.

Benny got a send off from one of the most beloved, treasured voices on KZfaq... and one of his best friends none the less. God bless, Rob. Very well done. Hope you heal well.

Legit didn't even kno about this, even tho I'm subbed. Smh. Rest easy Ben. Great tribute, Rob. 🙏🏾

Thank you for this eulogy, I’m sure ComicStorian would’ve appreciated it

Benny will be remembered as one of the best people to watch for comic book knowledge and voice acting of ALL time!!!😢😢😢😢😢

I don't know you two personally but comicstorian and you have been a part of my childhood !! Can't believe he is no more. Rest in peace Comicstorian !! In our hearts Now and Always

He's the reason I got back into power rangers because of his videos on the shattered grid 🥺 RIP Benny 😔

You know a man is worthy of respect when his friend can cry and laugh remembering the good times they had together out in the open…respect to the both of you

Goodbye Benny. Thank you for your contribution to the comic book community 🙏❤️

RIP Benny. You guys set the tone and pace for the social media comicbook landscape. Marvel Explained/Weekly Pull got us through the week.

No Benny, nooo!!! He will be greatly miss. The Passion and love you two share and talk about comics and stories, I discovered berserk thanks to comicstorian and Love it!! I feel your miss, but we will all see each other soon and continue our comics impressions and discussions.

Your honesty and volunerabilty is inspirational. I am so sorry for your loss. Take all the time you need. We're here to support not judge. Thank you for teaching us

Literally the Batman and Superman of the comic book KZfaq. Thank you both so much for your insights and time to tell us about the stories we all love.

You and Benny dragged me out of my depression. You provided an escape when my life was falling apart. Growing up your passions tend to take a backseat to your priorities, but you two managed to keep that part of many of us alive. When I clicked on a video talking about Spider-Man all those years ago I had no idea friends were waiting there on the other side of the screen. Thank you both, I’m sorry for everyone loss, because this is what it is… a loss. ❤

I didn’t get into comics until mid 20s I came across your page and then his vids were all on my algorithm. Spent entire days at work listening to stories. As an adult I thank him for opening my eyes to such incredible stories and his dedication to his craft.

Rob I found you after Ben and I had always listened to Aaron from Variant before that. I want to say you and Ben and Aaron are the trifecta of comic youtubers. You guys are my go to for everything comic books. My best friend introduced me to Ben in middle school and all he and I would talk about were the voices he would do while doin his full stories. He was amazing and you are amazing. Thank you both for EVERYTHING that the comic community has given all of us.

I stopped reading comics for a long time and then I saw you two on KZfaq. You two gave me back my love and excitement back. I got back to writing and creating again, you two made me a fan again. We love you Benny and Rob.

Literally grew up on the both of you. Literally the two best story tellers that inspired a new generation. You both brought excitement to comics and are forever cemented as the grandfathers when it comes to comic breakdown. RIP to Benny !!!

My heart goes out to everyone hurt by this. I know words don’t fix anything but I hope time heals. Thank you for sharing this :) beautifully done

You, Benny and Arris are the foundation for any comicbook media. Specifically here on KZfaq. Not only did ya made me into who I am now as a collector but got me through a very difficult time in my life. I may have stopped watching you guys for a bit but god will I never forget ya. My dearest condolences to your loss. Benny will forever be loved and missed.

You, Benny, and Aris Quinones have been my source of comic knowledge for so long. May his soul, through the mercy of God, rest in peace ❤️

Bro, you two ABSOLUTELY were the 1-2 punch. I've been following you both since 2016. I loved your podcast so much. This blows!.

You and Benny are the sole reason I've become invested in the comic world, and are the reason marvel and dc stories with both your voices echo in my mind. Rest in Peace Benny.

You two taught me everything I know about comics and vs battles 🙌 love you both so much and I’m sad he’s gone but I wanna celebrate him rather than mourn him. May he fly high

You and Comicstorian, really highlighted the best of the comic summary and comic explanations era. Growing up with both of you has enlightened my comic knowledge. Your eulogy really highlights the friendship you built with Benny and its genuine. Keep your head up and remember the postive times! RIP Comicstorian aka Ben!

You and Benny are the first people that I saw really doing deep dive comic covers. Always so in depth and amazing content! I loved Benny doing voice overs for the comics! May he rest in peace and know he was greatly loved by fans, family and you Rob! He was a blessed man indeed!

Even though today feels bad, The fact that there is a community out there of folks like you and Benny that make comics come alive, where we feel the loss of each other. It also feels good. RIP Benny.

Rest easy Benny, you were amazing and you still are 🤲🕊️

You and Benny are the reason I fell in love with comics again. Thank you both eternally with all the hard work you two put into it. Benny will be fondly missed by all. So much love and care goes out to you and all of the ones Benny had an impact on ❤

This guy was an entertainer, many a night a Sat listening content imagining to his stories , gonna miss his work
