Flashpoint Comics and Games — Local services in Winter Springs

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...

While the owners are nice and friendly, it is unfortunate that the way that they run things in regards to their tournaments and such leaves a lot to be desired. You should think twice about playing here because if the players decide that you are too competitive and that they don't like you the owners will not hesitate to ban you. Their players control their tournaments and store and if they don't like you then your out. It is sad that they manipulte them and their tournaments through this method. I get it the players doing this are (Nathan, Lori, Manny, Josh, Carson and Nick) and they are a small enough number but the owners say they look at thats 6 people that could spend money in their store versus 1 or 2 like my family who this was done too. It was great to hear a few months back that we would be able to play Disney's Lorcana here but we were unfortunately told today that we cannot because a small group of players that go there say they will no longer spend money there or come there if the people in question are still allowed to play there. It is also sad that the owner told me that this type of behavior would not be allowed in their store but yet it is being allowed showing that the owner never meant what they said. People like this are just sad acting like Karens pushing owners of a small business like this into getting what they want. So unfortunately because of all of this i feel others should know the truth before...

Flashpoint is easily one of my favorite shops to stop into. The owner and everyone who works here are super friendly, easy to talk to, and really know their stuff when it comes to comics. The comic wall is super organized, so you’re not digging around aimlessly, it’s laid out in a way that makes it easy to grab new issues and a couple issues you might have missed. The store itself is always clean, well kept, and just feels welcoming. One of my favorite parts is how simple the subscription service is. I travel for work and miss a lot of release days, but they make it easy to keep up with the series I’m collecting without stress. On top of the comics, they’ve got a fun mix of Funko Pops, toys, and trading card games, so there’s a little something for everyone. Highly suggest for anyone in the winter...
