Rage of the Red Lanterns just makes me scratch my head. Rogues' Revenge had Libra ina couple of panels, so I guess it counts? Resist and Submit are the closest things to tie-ins, but neither is really necessary or properly followed up on. Finally, Superman Beyond is absolutely essential to understanding Mandrakk and the themes of the final issue, yet was excluded from the main story for some reason. <BR/><BR/>All in all, it's like they decided to just mess with the fans even if they only had a handful of tie-ins, which is worse than the 100+ issues Marvel threw at the wall, if you ask me.<BR/><BR/>PS: The Black Panther tie-ins were amazing.
