The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles was a Jenny Everywhere webcomic created by Benj Christensen, with Scott D. M. Simmons illustrating the third of its three arcs. The stories revolved around Jenny Everywhere's fight against the agents of the villainous Chaos, but several different incarnations of Jenny, sometimes at different points in their lives, were featured non-linearly in the chapters.

Plot
Chapter 1
Jenny Everywhere and a monster materialise in mid-air in a universe home to a utopian commune of teleknetic, pacifist monks. After landing (using her shifted scarf as a parachute), Jenny encounters a man called Julian whom she decides to use as an Anchor.
While the monster is busy climbing out of the crater created by her fall, however, Jenny is confronted with Magistrate Harless, the leader of the commune of pacifists. Opposed to her stated intent of continuing her fight with Nyx, he telepathically paralyses her, only to be crushed underfoot by Jenny's giant companion Raleigh who materialises by her side. Raleigh informs Jenny that the monster she has been fighting is Chaos's disciple Nyx, whom the two, and the rest of the Wilson's crew, have met before.
Nyx reemerges in a new form, however, and the raygun hastily shifted into her hand by Jenny fails to be any use against her. She stabs Raleigh, forcing enny to teleport him back to the Wilson and continue the fight alone, trading her gun for a sword. This new weapon proves more effective, but after she has sliced Nyx apart, the monster warns her that she chose a body that would cause a huge nuclear blast if she died.
Jenny barely has time to shift herself and Julian into the Infinite before Nyx's body detonates, destroying Julian's homeworld. After taking him to another actual universe, she explains the Multiverse and Chaos to him, and offers him the opportunity to join the crew of the Wilson.
Worldbuilding
Jenny
- Chaprers 1 and 2 of this story feature a Jenny with the standard Jenny Everywhere look of a lean Asian young woman with short hair, wearing a scarf and goggles; her scarf is a grayish beige with red strips on each end. While adventuring with Michael Wilson this Jenny had dyed one lock of her hair crimson, but she seems to have abandoned this trait by the time she meets Julian.
- Chapter 3 features “Jenny Jacobs”, alias “the Shifter”, a teenaged superhero in Westbrook, Wisconsin and the adopted daughter of Simon Jacobs and his wife. Neither her day clothes nor her red superhero outfit include goggles or a scarf, although the superhero outfit does include an “S” logo on the chest that resembles the scarf of the previous Jenny.
- Various other Jennies are glimpsed in the Infinite, with the Wilson Jenny noting that although most are just passing through like herself, some live there permanently, “performing various tasks”.
- Jenny is shown to be able to turn people in the realities she visits into Anchors; this process, which momentarily stuns the Anchor, allows her to gain native-like knowledge of the dimension, and also shifts her appearance subtly to match.
Universes
- This story opens in a universe where the pacifist community governed by Magistrate Harless.
- Jenny shifters herself and Julian to a a different universe with a red sky.
- Odious is reported as being active in Universe Juliet-Two-Two-Six.
- Jenny Jacobs lives on Earth in an an outwardsly normal universe, notwithstanding the threats from other universes which keep ending up in Westbrook and which she must fight off.
Other
- The Illumination is an Abstract. He wears a high-tech collar which keeps his power in check. He notes that he “did not name himself”.
Continuity
- In 2010, Benj Christensen created an untitled one-panel comic for Jenny Everywhere Day featuring Jenny, Michael and Chaos.
- Michael also appeared in The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game, as well as the Abstracts, with a particular focus on Odious.
