"The gates to 42 were shut down and The Negative Zone was sealed off from Earth-616. At the same time Blastaar turned 42 into his own personal fortress where he met with the last two surviving members of The Fraternity of Raptors - Talon and Razor - who forged an alliance with Blastaar and as a sign of good faith gave him The Cosmic Control Rod. One major problem has arisen however, due to lack of information transference, Norman Osborn knows nothing about Blastaar having taken control of 42 and following the capture of Hardball has reopened the gates to 42. With the gates back online Blastaar and his armies are waiting in hiding as the gates reopen, ready to strike and cross over to Earth-616 at a moment's notice." This is plot of comic, (Dark Reign). It clearly says that Negative Zone is and universe not anyhow connected or fused with 616.
