review 1: An enjoyable volume, but with this series I always get the sense that writer Jason Aaron is trying too hard to offer a flood of ideas. There's some fun plotting here, notably Wolverine and Quentin Quire heading to an interstellar casino to get money to keep the school running. But there's also a strained subplot about a renowned space biologist willing to kill to keep the Brood bloodline pure--not a very scientific idea--and a tiresome capper involving Sabretooth on a rampage in space, an environment where it seems it would be easy to keep him from doing too much damage (just pop the airlock, right?).The characterization, particularly for the teens is consistent over the top, and I wish Aaron wrote them in a more naturalistic register. Also, despite their inexperience, the... more youngsters in the title seem to be able to handle any kind of opposition, which diminishes the interest somewhat. But the setting and stories are clever...maybe not as clever as they think they are, but clever enough, which keeps this X-fan reading.Read digital versions
review 2: An improvement on the other volumes, largely because Bradshaw's art takes up three out of four issues in this collection. Jason Aaron's writing is fairly good, even if Wolverine must be the main character. The first three issues are a chaotic ride with multiple storylines in and beyond the school. Bradshaw's art, while not distinctive, looks brilliant in contrast to the art of Bachalo, who does the art in the final issue. Bachalo's style is painful, to say the least. less
