An interesting idea, taking a violent character and turning him into the headmaster of a school complete with teaching classes. Of course we don't see Wolverine with a lot of actual class room time here. But we do see him do some off site "fund raising" and the author makes it clear he is still involved in his X-force team in the evenings.

We do see some new young mutants having to deal with what they can do and who they want to be, good or bad? We also see a youthful Hellfire club as rivals. I did enjoy Gladiator's son (the cosmic Gladiator, not the Daredevil/Spider Man villain). I think Jason Aaron did a pretty good job of getting you to care about these new characters and have an occasional laugh at their antics.

We see several issues significantly influenced by AvX (Avengers vs X-men). Fortunately I have read that story so I wasn't lost. We see Iceman and Kitty Pryde as school teachers and Storm joins the school for a little bit and gets steamy with Wolverine. Love her Mohawk look.

The story is worth the read if this sounds like the sort of thing you would be interested in. And I can't imagine a more pleasant way to have this in you collection than in this omnibus.

Comments on quality: Sewn binding, the slimmer paper is used. I wish they took the time to number the pages. A minor quibble I guess. The artwork was good, ok, and sometimes mediocre as we had many artist changes. Art ratings are clearly in the eye of the beholder. I guess it's usually too much to ask anymore that a single artist stay with a book for 40 issues. The only other quibble is that the dust jacket spine is white. It jumps out next to my black background omnibus editions next to it on the shelf.
