At the end of WOK Polaris, Havok, and Rachael Summers are stranded in deep space. They are recovered at the end of Mike Carey's run on Legacy, and beyond knowing they were stranded you don't need too much more information about WOK to understand what's going on. Similarly, I believe the next major Starjammers story is in Cyclops, and that hardly references WoK.
Do you read comics in TPBs, HCs, and omnibuses - or are just not sure where to start? Check out my definitive guides to DC (including Rebirth!), Valiant Comics, and Marvel - including every X-Men and Avengers team and each Marvel Event.
You'll find definitive reading guides including every issue of every major Marvel hero and team, like Black Panther, Captain America, Captain/Ms. Marvel, Daredevil, Deadpool, Spider-Man, & and more!
This is exactly my concern as well re: PPTSSM in the MMW format, and is the reason I didn't want to see the title reprinted in this format. It will take YEARS to even get to the mid-'80's PPTSSM issues, and that's assuming that we get one MMW volume per year. For these reasons, I would have strongly preferred Omnis for this title.
Conversely, a short-lived title like Savage She-Hulk will work much better in the MMW format; they can easily complete that series in two volumes.
I agree with what the others say in that WoKs doesn't really effect what's happening to the X-Men in the main ongoing titles of the time.
It was a great self contained story though - if you want it just from the X-perspective, then Deadly Genesis + WoKs Omnibus will cover it for the full "Vulcan" story.
FYI - The early Inhumans story thread focuses on Quicksilver in the aftermath of House of M (Son of M), which was more X-related before drifting into ramifications with Inhumans (Silent War, Secret Invasion, etc).
The Aftermath Omnibus will only cover some Shi'Ar related material - so the firm X element drops out by here. Depends on how bothered you are on following the Shi'Ar as part of x-continuity as to whether you'd want this too.
Avengers and New Avengers were Hickman's first books I really had a problem with. They start out fine, even if they tend to emphasis his worst flaws but they become messing the further his run gets. It might also be that I am sick to death of the heroes vs heroes events. I did however, really enjoy Secret Wars.

The F4 haven't been the same since Mr. Hickman left.
Yeah Hickman was close to perfect on FF books so glad they got them out in omnibus form quickly.
So the Spider Gwen ohc is a few weeks away, what's the general consensus on this? Worth picking up or nah?
The 2 Spider-Man PHC's were picked up at clearance from a local comics internet store. The Marvel Universe by John Byrne Omnibus was purchased from IST at $50 during their recent discounts. Some nostalgia kicked in, so I picked up those Hulk dvds from amazon.co.uk and the amazon.co.uk marketplace - I loved watching the Hulk series as a kid. The Fallen Son Death of Captain America OHC has a dent or two but it was a pretty cheap in particular for an OOP OHC.
A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!

Happy New year, folks. Hopefully Marvel can pull it together in 2017.
Yeah, I'm still bitter about IvX. Peanut allergy my butt
Cyclops was right
