Carey said AXM occurs right before the Messiah Complex.Well actually now that I re-read what he's saying it is kind of true. The second run has been aliented from the other X-books(For now)...but that doesn't make it non-canon.
So just to clarify AXM does not occur in a separate universe.
i'd just always assumed it was canon based on colossus's resurrection and the scott emma relationship seeming to just continue on from brand new morning (i think it was called).
good to know for sure though...

WHAT IF? X-MEN: THE RISE & FALL OF THE SHI'AR EMPIRE
Written by CHRISTOPHER YOST
Penciled by LARRY STROMAN

THE RISE & FALL OF THE SHI'AR EMPIRE was an X-Men event like no other.

But in that final battle in front of the M'Kraan Crystal, what if Vulcan absorbed the very energies that contained it many years ago? In other words, what if Vulcan became PHOENIX? When his unlimited rage is fueled with unlimited power...who will be able to stop him now?

I enjoyed it myself too. Rachel has become one of my favorite characters and the guy with the huge sword is pretty cool. Im not too fond of Havok. Emperor Vulcan just started, anybody reading it?
Yeah Rachel rocks. As for Emperor Vulcan, I'll probably wait for the trade ✅

I couldn't disagree more :/
Rachel history and integrity has been whored around lately. Uncanny x-men before they went into shi'ar space was just a nightmare. Bruebaker didn't do a bad job depicting her imo, but the recent ones have just been horrible.

Post Messiah Complex Cyclops
What's interesting though is that, writing the book, I just wrote a line of dialogue yesterday. I realized as I was writing it that - all I was writing about was, Cyclops is yelling at someone. I don't want to say who he's talking to [but he said], "We didn't sign up for this. We didn't take anything and become this way. We don't make a choice to be these people, to put on these costumes, to do these things. It's just who we are." I realized as I was reading it again… I live in a neighborhood where 50% of the people on my block are gay. And as I was reading it I was like, "… Huh!" Like I just made a gay analogy! I realized in my mind that's how I viewed it after I had written it. I had no plans to actually make it. I hate analogies. I hate metaphors. I hate all that ****. So I never try to write allegories or political metaphors or anything like that. But then I realized… it's not up to the writer, it's up to the reader. That's where allegories and metaphors come from - things that the readers see that the authors didn't necessarily even intend to be. It's just there. It's just a truth. It reflects back on the real world whether you want it to or not.
So I was like, "… Huh! Well… that's actually kind of cool!" Because what he's saying is really true. Ah, I'll just tell you who he's saying it to - he's saying it to Tony Stark. He's basically telling him to shove the whole Registration Act up his ass, post-"Messiah Complex" after everything that happens. Basically he's just saying, "We aren't vigilantes. This is just who we were born as. You can't tell a guy who was born with wings that he can't fly unless he works for the government." So it's just like **** you. I was born with feet! I can walk! I don't need your permission. So it was a really important thing to be said and then I realized how much it can be seen as that metaphor. I realized, "Ah, ****. I've really done a disservice to the X-Men by staying away from that stuff." So but at the same time I don't want to do the "Oh woe is me, we're so hated" stuff, so I want to try and take it in the opposite direction, sort of, with the post-"Messiah Complex" stuff. We'll be hearing a lot more about that later.
i just had the comic book equivalent of an orgasm...
