You need to retrieve first database inserted value, and then check that value with all options if match found you can select like,

$db_selected_value = "2"; // retrieved data
<select name="comic_publisher" id="publishers" >
        @foreach($group as $team)
            <option value="{{$team['group_id']}}" @if($db_selected_value == $team['group_id']) {{ 'selected' }} @endif>{{$team['comic_group_name']}}</option>
        @endforeach
  </select>

here, @if($db_selected_value == $team['group_id']) {{ 'selected' }} @endif this line matches your old selected value to all the other. and selected selects
