Come with us to a time beyond time... A space beyond space... And hearken to the words of the Council of Living Stars!
Starman relays his story to the JSA of a new menace, Aquarius, a stellar being who had been disincorporated after his evil acts, and sensing Starman's Cosmic Rod's energies, steals the rod from him to reincorporate himself. After nearly being defeated by the JSA, Aquarius uses the rod to blink Earth-2 out of existence, but not before several members protect themselves in an energy bubble using Fate's magicks and GL's ring's mystic energies. Red Tornado, meanwhile, has been sent to Earth-1 to the JLA to get help battling Aquarius. To be continued...
