“Never Mix, Never Worry”

In "Never Mix, Never Worry," Terry McGinnis faces a dangerous new threat when Derek Powers—now known as Blight—steals radioactive Yostrium from a chemical spill site, setting off a chain of events that leads Bruce Wayne to connect the theft to a prior heist of Xanthalium. With the final piece of a deadly formula hidden in the long-abandoned Bludhaven plant, Terry ventures into the city’s underground tunnels to stop Blight from completing his weapon. Written by Hilary J. Bader and illustrated by Rick Burchett, with inks by Terry Beatty, colors by Lee Loughridge, and letters by Tim Harkins, the issue’s cover by Bruce Timm and James Tucker captures the tension of a city on the edge.

When Terry must save a team of specialists sent to the scene of a chemical spill, he encounters Derek Powers, now calling himself Blight, who makes off with radioactive Yostrium. Connecting this theft to an earlier theft of Xanthalium, Bruce theorizes that Blight is collecting chemicals for a powerful weapon. The final necessary chemical, Zeliconium, can only be found in Bludhaven, which has been cordoned off for years. Using secret tunnels under Bludhaven, Terry enters the plant and finds Blight about to steal the Zeliconium. Terry renders the chemical inert, but fails to capture Blight.
