In a future where the polar ice-caps have melted and Earth is almost entirely submerged, a mutated mariner fights starvation and outlaw "smokers," and reluctantly helps a woman and a young girl try to find dry land. In this post-apocalyptic world, human population has been scattered across the ocean in isolated communities on artificial islands and decrepit sea vessels. The mariner, an antihero drifter with webbed feet and gills, sails the seas in his trimaran. When he enters an artificial atoll seeking to trade dirt, he becomes the target of pirates known as "Smokers." They are searching for a girl named Enola, who possesses a map to Dryland tattooed on her back. After the Smokers raid the atoll, the mariner reluctantly takes Enola and her guardian Helen with him on his boat. They are pursued by the Deacon, the captain of the Smokers, who wants the map. Along their journey, the mariner warms up to Enola and teaches her to swim. They encounter various challenges, including an underwater trip to gather dirt and the destruction of their boat by the Smokers. Eventually, they find refuge with a new group of survivors on a makeshift atoll. Determined to rescue Enola and stop the Deacon from finding Dryland, the mariner boards the oil tanker Exxon Valdez. He threatens to drop a flare into the oil reserve tank unless the Deacon releases Enola, resulting in the ship's explosion. The mariner saves Enola by bungee jumping and they join the others on the balloon-driven towards Dryland. They discover that Dryland is Mount Everest, where they begin a new civilization, while the mariner decides to sail off into the ocean, his home.

Superman returns to Earth after spending five years in space examining his homeworld Krypton. But he finds things have changed while he was gone, and he must once again prove himself important to the world. For five years, Superman has been away from Earth, coaxed into space by a belief that Krypton may still exist. In the time he's been away, the world has changed--not only has terrorism become rampant, but Lois Lane has been living with Perry White's nephew, started a family, and won a Pulitzer Prize for her piece 'Why the World Doesn't Need Superman.' Meanwhile, Lex Luthor has conned a wealthy widow named Gertrude Vanderworth out of her fortune, with the assumption that he has changed his ways after being in prison. After inheriting her money, Lex, his assistant Kitty Kowalski, and some henchmen take Gertrude's private yacht, and head North toward Superman's Fortress of Solitude. Lex carefully guides them to the location, where he finds several crystals in the fortress' control panel, and the holographic image of Superman's father, Jor-El. After listening to the hologram, Lex and his crew take the crystals and return to Metropolis. Meanwhile, Superman returns to Earth, landing near the Kent Farm in Kansas where his mother, Martha Kent, currently resides. After spending some time with her, Superman re-adopts his Clark Kent persona, and returns to Metropolis.
