“This place is amazing. I started collecting comics in march. I did get about 32-40 issues gifted from my uncle and when i worked with my dad i got some hardcovers from one of his customers who was genuinely cool (i was 14-15 at the time and now im 22). His entire house was covered in comics and books he probably just moved in at the time but thats what probably steered me towards wanting my own collection so im back at it. I originally went to painted visions which they have a decent collection but not like nova gateway! I went to nova gateway/flashback comics shortly after first going to painted and the interactions and hospitality are far more better than at painted visions. And my favorite part is how accessible these books are their entire catalog is in display and is for sale. When i went to painted visions they had longboxes that were “not for sale” according to them. Why even have longboxes out when your telling your customers that they cannot buy whats inside them? It was a big letdown. These folks at nova/flashback comics will have damn near everything your looking for and its always great to talk with them about whatever may have been discussed. Troy has been my favorite person to speak with so far. Great guy and hes alot of the reason this place is my go to!”
“Una librería excelente, excelente servició al cliente, muy amables, y siempre tiene la ayuda y reapuestas adecuadas a todas las preguntas. Personal uníco con toda la experiencia guiada por el espirítu santo. Dios me les bendiga poderosamente al personal, a los dueños y que su negocio se grandemente prosperado???”
“My kids love this place. They always find the latest edition to a series they are reading. The store is well organized and easy to find what you are looking for.”
“It’s very quiet there, which I really like. The buildings are nice and clean, and there’s plenty of extra parking space. Just make sure to buy a parking ticket—even if you’re only staying for five minutes before 3:45 PM—because the parking enforcement officer is almost always around checking for vehicles without tickets.”
“I came here for the first time looking for 2 manga books I wanted and as I got them I went to purchase it and the employee there was so nice and friendly and helped me to pay it with my card and cash and was very patient. For my first time coming here I would say it was an amazing experience and I will hopefully be coming back to this store many times to purchase my mangas!”

Barnes & Noble is proving that physical bookstores aren't going anywhere. The retailer just opened three new locations across Texas and South Carolina, marking another step in its comeback story. Barnes & Noble opened 57 stores in 2024 alone - more than it had opened in the entire decade from 2009 to 2019. The company isn't slowing down either, with plans to open more than 60 new stores in 2025 and a goal of reaching over 1,000 stores nationwide in the coming years.
