Comments about Flutter, Volume 2 from the Virginia Library Association Diversity Award Judges:
"An original concept to frame the superhero genrearound a LGBTQ story with elements of the spy genre. Flutterhas enough components to warrant discussion of the characters and storytellingelements."
"Overall this is an exciting story with lots ofpotential. Although it reveals itself to be a superhero origin story, it alsomanages to embody a spy thriller, a high school romance, and a noir crime storywithout losing itself. It also takes the time to meditate on the nature ofgender and sexuality and the influence of society in how we shape ourperceptions of self and others, and inspires us to consider what we could be ifwe defined ourselves."
"This graphic novel tackled sexuality and gender in acreative manner (using science fiction), but the issues were real for manyyoung people and they were handled thoughtfully and respectfully."

Love this volume - even more than the first volume and I liked the first one a lot. Loved seeing Lily come into her own, explore what she can do and own up to her actions. Loved the pace of the story. Also, the color work in volume two by Chris Goodwin is amazing. Cannot wait for volume three!

I received the graphic novel through Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ in a giveaway. Flutter Volume's 1 and 2 are about a girl that can physically change her form into a boy. The government is searching for her and her father. They want her because of her powers. They want him because she was an unexpected part of an experiment and her father took her. The girls mother can also change forms and helps to hide them. They move to a new town and Lily falls in love with a girl. The girl is straight so Lily becomes a guy and enters the new student as this boy. The story was very confusing at times. The reader would just catch up to what was happening and than suddenly everyone was somewhere else with something else happening. A lot of the characters were drawn with similar characteristics so they were difficult to tell apart. It has a good premise but it needed to be fleshed out more so the story flowed from scene to scene.

My thoughts on Volume Two were very similar to those on Volume 1. A decent read with decent art that occasionally got sloppy. However, through the first four parts, the story flowed much better this time, however, it did lose it's way in the fifth.
Worth the read, but was hoping it would evolve a bit more.
