Green Lantern #20
Green Lantern #20 offers a couple of stories. In the main tale, we get Hal Jordan on the planet Alteon-X where Erastus the Blacksmith has been consumed with rage, rampaging across the entire planet leaving bodies in his wake. Unable to reason with the hate-fueled madman, Hal attempts to try and let the rage run its course only for it to build to a climax leaving only destruction in its wake. While not a bad little story, there's nothing all that memorable at the one-off baddie whose anger eventually destroys him.
Less enjoyable, part for it starring Kyle Rayner, is a story about Kyle and others on a bizarre space-Indiana Jones adventure looting a tomb hidden inside the Source Wall at the edge of the universe. Aside from a hidden temple in the Source Wall seeming to contract written in comics for decades, a Lantern (even a bad one) with Superboy on his side take any of the fun or danger completely out of the equation leaving only a sad joke.
