Quotes

Green Lantern: “You and your sister melded into one hybrid male/female creature? Bad which way, Todd? Bad as in super-duper creepy? Then I’d give that a big fat check in the “yes” column.

Synopsis "Emerald City. A Dark Things Epilogue"

The JLA and JSA have freed Green Lantern (Alan Scott) from possession by the magical Starheart. For years Alan had controlled the small fragment of the Starheart which gave him his Green Lantern powers. Now he finds himself custodian of its entirety. The cost is that his twin children (Obsidian and Jade) must stay fore ever apart. They are the personifications of light and shadow within the Starheart. If they come within a 1/3 of mile of each other the power of the Starheart overwhelms them and fuses them together into a single being.

Quotes

Congorilla: Funny though, your father said much the same thing to me once.
Jesse Quick: Wait, you knew my dad?
Congorilla: For a short time.
Jesse Quick: An adventure back in the day?
Congorilla: Back in the day, absolutely. Adventure? Not quite. We made a travel documentary about Africa. 1953, as I recall.

Donna Troy: Wow, he was tough. I’ve taken on Robot Baba Yagas that weren’t as hard to beat. Actually that’s a live. I’ve never met a Baba Yaga, robot or not, let alone fought one. I just thought it’d be cool to say.

Synopsis "The Dark Things Part One"

Previously in JLA #44 and JLA #45: The Starheart – the vessel created by the Guardians of the Universe to hold the wild and chaotic magic left over from the early universe – is approaching the Earth. A part of its power originally flowed through Alan Scott’s Green Lantern battery and ring and through the birth mark of his daughter Jade. Her resurrection during the Brightest Day awoken the Starheart and it has brought her to Earth. The Justice League and Society have teamed up to help her, but Alan Scott and her brother Obsidian (Todd Rice) have already been possessed by the Starheart’s magical/chaotic energies.
