Flashpoint Comics and Games
Flashpoint Comics and Games isn't your average run-of-the-mill comic shop or table game store. First of all Danny, the owner along with his wife, Lauren, are some of the most welcoming people you'll ever meet in your life. I first walked into this store on their 5th week of operation, you wouldn't even know it, it looked like they had been there for years. With that being said I've been a superhero and sci-fi fan since I could form a sentence but my only form of media consumption of the two was mainly either television or movies. I always wanted to get in comics but I always felt like it was a monster of a hobby to get into because I always found continuity, storylines, timelines, and releases so confusing. When I first walked into this store Danny greeted me like he knew me and I asked him about some comics/characters I'm a fan of that I've always wanted to read. He gave me a few recommendations as well as a free issue of one of my favorite characters that had just released a new set of issues that he recommended as a good starting point. Since then it's been about 3 1/2 months and I frequent the store at the very least once a week. Danny isn't just an owner-operator of a comic and game store, he is a human comic lore super-computer that has so much love for what he does and for the comic community as a whole and will stop everything he's doing to answer the simplest of questions about a comic book. If there's something you want but you don't see it in the store, Danny is willing to do whatever he can to get it as quick and efficiently as possible with competitive prices. Along with their vast variety of comics and graphic novels they also keep a frequent and regularly updated variety of signed comics and CGC Certified graded copies (These both go quick). There's also a variety of table and board games with any accessories you need, as well as TCG packs and accessories and comic storage accessories. They host many events and/or deals throughout the month and regularly support local artists/local comic book writers. They also host weekly events that mainly consist of BYO board game nights and TCG events and are willing to teach new players, along with a collection of the stores board games and demo TCG packs you could use if you'd like. They frequently post on social media and keep their followers updated on any news. Flashpoint isn't just a comic shop, it's Danny and Lauren's dreams come to life and they truly love what they do and are spectacular at it.
