Damn Fine Hostile Takeover was a standalone Jenny Everywhere comic story written by Joe Macaré and drawn by Nelson Evergreen. Released in two hlaves, it thus managed the feat of both being #4 and #5 in the official reading order of the original thirteen Barbelith Jenny Everywhere stories.
Reusing Jenny's friends Clea, Lex and Bradley and the town of Right-On By The Sea (from Macaré and Evergreen's earlier Name's Not Down), it also introduced Jenny Nowhere as a last-page sequel hook. Oddly, Macaré and Evergreen never wrote a Jenny Nowhere story past that point, but the character was picked up by later creators and became one of the main recurring elements in Jenny Everywhere media.
Contents
Plot
When an evil megacorp threatens to drive their favourite indie coffee shop out of business, Jenny Everywhere and her friends Clea, Lex and Bradley decide that some “direct action” is called for, and force their way into the local Apollo Coffee skyscraper to demand they back off. Unfortunately, although the corrupt executive himself is nothing formidable, he turns out to be evil enough to have a literal army of Faceless Cyborg Ninjas for bodyguard, and things get heated.
Worldbuilding
Jenny Everywhere
- This story once again features the incarnation of Jenny Everywhere who lives in Right-On By The Sea.
