Rail Shift was a nine-page Jenny Everywhere comic story created by Jack Harvey, focusing on his default Jenny. It was notable for being entirely wordless.
Contents
Plot
Jenny is on a train, calmly reading her newspaper, when the train is held up by a gang of masked robbers. When one tries to hold her at gunpoint, she calmly replaces his gun with a banana before kicking him back against the window of her compartment, knocking him out. She exists and bursts in on the next wagon, where she finds the leader of the gang. He tries to shoot at her, but she replaces each bullet with a flower as it comes. The rogue escapes onto the next wagon and unhooks his from the one Jenny is standing on, hoping to strand her, but she manages to hop over the gap to continue chasing him. After a brief scuffle, she manages to get a hold of the robber long enough to shift him along through the Infinite and directly into a jail cell. Later, similar events seem set to repeat as Jenny travels on a riverboat.

Behind the scenes
Background
When posting the story, Jack Harvey gave it the following commentary:
| Well, here it is, spent quite alot of time on this, being my first major comic strip work, as well as my first major project using my tablet.
Not perfect, I learned a lot while doing it, like how to steady my hand. I was unsure how to treat the artwork, this story was partially inspired by the old train chases from Tintin (which I heard had an influence on Jenny's character, which I drew from), so style wise I thought I should try and stick to that via minimal shading. Also thought it was best to keep things simple to start with, rather than go over the top and mess things up. Also cred goes out to all the creators whose interpretations of Jenny I pay homage to on page 7, especially Benj Christensen, whose shift sequence I slightly ripped off (but hey, it's a great idea — I give him full credit). |
