From what I understand Grand Design wasn't ment to be in-continuity.
Its an nice alter-timeline based on the Kirby and Byrne run but with big differences especially in the end and it shows that since it gave a definite end to the timeline.
BUT considering how time-travel works in the MU, then this could be the timeline that spawned the 616. Franklin going back in time could have created a new timeline that became 616, hence why it continues in FF# 5.
I liked it for what it was.

I actually loved this issue. Just read it today. I highly recommend it. Short, concise, tight storyline with the grand scope of Negative Zone in background. Loved the writing, design, and everything. Reed actually looked...well...Cool for once.
I don't dislike Slotts stories or look for the FF, but I wouldn't hate the person who wrote this taking over someday.
They even seemed like a team for once.
Mike Carey wrote a run of Ultimate Fantastic Four.
I only realized yesterday that Negative Zone and FF: Scourge were not the same comic and my soul left my body.
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
so at the age Franklin is now, is he trying to go on dates?
Once we got to the second issue, it was obviously not a 616 story. I think trying to tie this into our FF might be fun for some people. But honestly, there's not much to this Grand Design story but a fan fic adventure with a lot of disconnected ideas as some have said. After taking a look at this, I realized I may have wasted money on buying this.
