Todd and Jennie-Lynn were conceived inside an energy bubble of their father's, Alan Scott. It was revealed many years later, the they were genetically his children, but were actually the children of the Starheart, the source of Alan's power: Jen was the light side and Todd the dark.
They were both born as brown-haired caucasians. In their teens they developed their powers by which Jen could turn green and Todd as black as a shadow.
Back in the Infinity days, Jen used to change to her original skin and hair colour, but eventually went to being green full-time.

Yes they are LAM. They're the children of Alan Scott (GL of Earth-2) and the villainess Thorn. Jade inherited her Dad's emerald power and it somehow turned her green (though originally only when she powered up).
The cover to me looks like its Shift at the top (ugh - I was hoping he'd die in IC), Grace top left, Katana bottom left, unknown top right (probably Thunder though) and Arsenal bottom right (isn't that a bow/crossbow he's holding?).
I was hoping I'd be able to start picking up this title post-OYL but it looks like Judd Wininck is still making me save money both here and at Green Arrow.

Many thanks for the origin recap, Rockhopper and Blacula. By the way, how did the GA Thorn reform? I think I got her mixed-up with the GA Harlequin (Molly Maynne)coz i thought she (Molly) was Todd and Jennie-Lynn's actual mother...

Rockhopper Lad probably knows more than I do but I don't think the Thorn ever reformed, or at least not permanently. When she died she was still a villain IIRC.
Molly Mayne (Harelequin) is Alan Scott's wife (not that we ever see her anymore... <grumble> <grumble> JSA writers...) and so would I guess therefore be Todd and Jennie-Lynn's stepmother.

The character at the bottom looks to be wearing a scarf.....Could this possibly be the new Captain Boomerang?? I agree though that it looks like Shift, Grace, Thunder and Katana though.

Katana Grace Shift Thunder Arsenal (wielding dual vert crossbows?)
I think Jade bites it in space, in the Rann-Thanagar Special. There's some hint that a hero dies and a Green Lantern is affected by a great tradgedy.

Jade dying would mean TWO Green Lanterns are affected by a great tragedy. Kyle is in love with her (or was) and Alan Scott is her dad.

Of course Jade will die. Why not? Infinitors are cannon fodder! Two just died, I've heared rumours of two more, the others are (except Power Girl) de-powered, evil, in jail or recovering from insanity. Except for the ones who are already dead!
As for Thorn (Jade and Obsidian's mother), she was taken by Jay Garrick and Alan Scott to Paradise Island (pre-Crisis to Diana; post-ZH to Hippolyta; in between, who knows?) and the Amazons reformed her. She adopted the name Alyx Floryn upon her return to the States and married Alan Scott. She left him on their honeymoon, letting him believe she was killed in a fire and abandoned the twins she conceived to keep her evil side from harming them. When they were grown, she found them and, ultimately, killed herself to prevent her from killing Alan and their children.

At least when Jade dies it'll probably be in an heroic fashion and after they've given us an emotional send-off with her father and Kyle.
Poor Mal will be lucky if he gets a single word of dialogue in this whole series before getting unceremoniously blasted away in the background of some panel without anyone noticing!
Damn that Donna Troy! Taking all these good characters to their deaths! I'm beginning to understand now why Judd Winnick was so intent on killing her off. She must be stopped!

Lash, there is an interview with Judd over at the Newsarama that has me very excited about this title.....Also the rumors are growing that Boomerang Jr will be a member!

Whats going on with the comics these days? Over in Marvel, the Scarlet Witch and Polaris are corrupted (presumably) by Magneto...and now Donna/Troia...why are these good people being altered? It doesn't make sense!

Sniff sniff.
I'm in a serious case of denial, ever since the cover image for #34 was released. With the rumours Boom JR has replaced Arsenal on the team, I've begun to fear for Roy. I'm a big fan of the second stringers like Arsenal and Tempest.

I can't believe even the Outsiders were going to leave people to die in an explosion. Sure, they turned back- but... maybe Alex Luthor and Kal-L are right. Actually, I'm even more surprised that the Rogues left Owen behind. Captain Cold, in particular.
Guess this gives credence to the rumors mentioned in previous posts. Could be fun.
