Average rating3.4
I didn't read X-Men: Schism, so maybe that is why I really didn't care for this volume. I liked the idea of Wolverine opening up his own school and seeing him go through the day to day of being a professor. However this volume didn't have that. Wolverine is in the process of getting his school approved by the DOE, some bratty group of misfits attack it, some funny stuff happens. I won't be reading volume 2 because I just don't care to know what happens next.
I generally loved this series but this volume was barely coherent. It relied on some tired and troubling tropes (alien pregnancy infestation. How does that happen enough to be a trope?!). It was unnecessarily difficult to follow.
I'm probably inflating this at least one star because of its PROMISE to be exactly what I want to see in comics. This volume is a lot of necessary exposition, etc. But who can say no to Wolverine and Kitty Pryde co-running a school? They're going to have so many adventures. Favorites!! Can't wait to read more.
