Thank the cosmic gods! The city is safe, its people alive! Ironic! Once before I saved a city from a planet's destruction. I stole fair Kandor unknowing that Krypton was soon to explode. But this city I purposely saved... And it feels good! It but begins to make up for all my former days of evil. But now I must return to work... The machine must be stopped, and to stop it-- I must find Superman!

Synopsis for "Aquaman: Death if by Land... Death if by Sea!"

Aquaman fights off the Land-Masters of Vortuma and helps the hexapi get to safety, but is knocked unconscious by the tyrants. He awakens in a desert, confronted by Land-Masters. When he tears the tunic of one of the Land-Masters, Aquaman finds himself inundated by life-giving water. He trails the Land-Masters and discovers they are really hexapi in humanoid suits, after which he leads an assault on them by the good hexapi and defeats them. However, Aquaman fears that the transport beam which brought him to Vortuma may wear off and leave him stranded on that world for life.
