    I feel bad for the review im about to leave because my experiences here havent always been bad. This shop, however, has the Monopoly for comic shops in Pleasant Hill, so unless you want to make a decent drive, you Have to go to them. That said, I think they know that, and because of it dont always treat customers well at all. I recently called in to see if they had a specific comic in stock to which I was told "Nope, we got those in and sold out quick" I made this call at 3pm and drove to Zeppelin comics who had it in stock and held it for me. Flying Colors had other comics being held for me so I stopped by there on the way home at 5:45pm. I walk in to grab my comics, only to see 20 of the issues I had just called in about right there at the counter. The employee who helps me tells me they re upped an hour before.. Youre telling me No one in the shop had any idea they would be ordering more at 3pm and have them stocked to sell by 5:45?? Lol, it was Super deceitful, and not the only incident by any means. Ill be making the drive to Oakland where the staff at Cape and Cowl are Always honest, Always friendly, Don't take business as a given, and Always treat you with respect. You cant say Anything to employees at Flying Colors without them acting like they know everything and that you, the customer, have absolutely zero clue about comics, even if you've been walking the planet longer than some of them and collecting comics since before they were a gleam in their daddy's almondsack. I dont recommend this shop unless you have no transportation and have to Uber within Pleasant Hill, have only enough money for the 1 or 2 comics youre looking for, or as an absolute Last resort. Cape and Cowl, Zeppelin Comics, are both much better and far less stressful options for the comic collector

    We visited this store yesterday, because my daughter is a big anime fan. My husband knows about this place because he's a big comic book fan. The guys that work here are really nice, and friendly. There is an awesome selection of comics and a good sized section of anime books. Very reasonably priced, highly recommend this spot!

    Superman and Green Lantern books

    Today was my first visit to Flying Colors. The staff went above and beyond in helping me find some great reads, super friendly and knowledgeable. The store itself is very well organized and easy to navigate. This is hands down the best comic shop I've been to and will definitely be back. I highly recommend checking out this comic book shop.

    FREE good comics? Awesome

    This store is a mess. Extremely disorganized and not a lot of product. I do not recommend it.

Besides the free comic book, the owner has booked a Smash Bros truck, a smashed burgers truck. We tried it, and the burgers were good!! A bit pricey ( 1$ extra for one slice of tomato and 1$ extra for some shredded lettuce ) but they were good! And somebody was selling coffee too. We sat in the car to enjoy our lunch, then went back to the store for more bargains. The bookstore has some outside vendors too. I bought a drawn book for my granddaughter, and they were some lovely bookmarks too. I bought some 3D printed Pokemon toys last year, but I was disappointed that vendor didn't come back.

I have not seen many back issues with the exception of wall comics. They have a pretty large area of clearance $1 comics on the left side of the store which seem to be 2-3 years old books. I like that these $1 boxes are on tables and my back appreciates that they are easy to sort through. They also have an inventory of collected editions which includes trade paperbacks, hardcovers, omnibus, and compendiums. The owner Kerry has tried to help me find some obscure current comic books a couple times which I appreciate. The staff have all been helpful and easy to work with. I believe they do a significant amount of business in trading card/game card these days, but still have a respectable comic offering.
