Potter launched his YouTube channel in 2014 under the brand “Comicstorian” and has amassed over three million subscribers in the years since.

In her statement, Nathalie said that the team behind the channel and herself would work to preserve his legacy for the foreseeable future.

“His channel was one of his greatest achievements, and while we all need our time to mourn his loss, I know he wouldn’t have wanted it to end this way. Ben spent over 10 years spreading his love and appreciation for his hobbies. His love of engaging stories and well-written characters is what got him started on YouTube,” she said.

“The team and I want to keep that going. To honor him by continuing to tell great stories about great people, and also to keep the memory of our own superhero alive. We supported each other in everything we wanted to do, and I’m not going to stop now.”
