The series looks to be a pretty big deal for ol' Logan and the entire X-Men universe.  Series writer Benjamin Percy said as much in an interview with Entertainment Weekly:

"I'm going to make a bold statement: I set out to write the greatest Wolverine story ever told. I'm not trying to belittle previous creators when I say that. The opposite. I'm trying to honor them. When we reveal the expansive scope—and legacy elements—of the project, you'll understand what I mean. We're creating a definitive platform that channels all the Wolverine stories that came before, while shredding our way into a wild future."

It sounds like Percy and artist Joshua Cassara has something pretty big and important in store for the character and us as readers.
