So I recently reread the Age of Apocalypse series (amazing series) and just to be sure that I had read everything relating to AoA I went to the page to see if there was anything else. On the page I found this:
The Timeline Continues...
As the X-Men stand in Manhattan watching the skies fill with falling nuclear weapons, they become astonished as the bombs freeze and explode above the earth, miraculously not harming any of them. Quicksilver immediately gives his father credit for stopping the bombs and deems him their savior once again. Magneto, just as surprised as anyone else, allows the others to give him the credit; he believes that both humans and mutants need a figure to look up to and give them faith after living for so long under the tyranny of Apocalypse. The surviving X-Men wonder how Bishop survived to change reality if they still exist, but Illyana thinks that Bishop gave their world hope to carry on. In the vein of that hope, Magneto, using his mutant powers, recreates the destroyed Statue of Liberty. His joy is cut short, though, as Weapon X approaches him, carrying the lifeless body of Jean. Logan tells Magneto that it was actually Jean who saved the world, and she died in the process. Without her, Logan tells him, there is nothing for him to live for. He asks Magneto to bury her properly, as he walks off. Magneto does so, but is psychologically torn apart over the next few months by living the lie of being the world's "savior".
When did any of this happen? The last issue of the main AoA story was X-men: Omega and it ended with the bombs going off...now in the 10 year anniversary mini we found out that the timeline continued and that the bombs were halted by Jean transforming into the Phoenix. But to my knowledge none of the above events were ever shown. If I'm wrong then please could someone correct me and tell me where this takes place.
