Plot

Jenny Nowhere, aided by Johnny Nowhere, Jenny Elsewhere, and Johnny Anything, obtain the Gemstone of Destruction which is said to be able to destroy all reality. However, Jenny Everywhere, with Johnny Everywhere, Jenny Somewhere, Jenny Anywhere, Hakhe, Jimmy Wherever, and Jimmy Anytime, show up, holding up a crystal of her own, claiming to have switched out the one Nowhere had before the villains got there. The two sides are about to fight when the Destructors arrive via portal from above, falling on Nowhere and her allies. Intrigued by the mention of universal destruction by Jenny Nowhere, the leader of the Destructors uses a portal device to send all the villains away, as Jenny Everywhere and crew chase after them, using their combined powers. The Protectors come through a portal in their pursuit of the Destructors and immediately begin pursuing the villains as the tail end of this chain of characters chasing each other.

The leader of the Destructors keeps sending the villains away at first sight of the pursuing Everywheres, despite protestations by the Nowheres. However, the leader points out that the Everywheres are continuing to pursue despite claiming to have the real crystal, leading Jenny Nowhere to come to the conclusion that the Everywheres were bluffing, and the Nowheres actually did have the authentic crystal.

The villains return to the world from the start of the comic and are about to use the gem to destroy the Everywheres as they teleport in, but Jimmy Anytime intervenes, rewinding time to just as the Nowheres returned to the reality, and snatches the crystal from Jenny Nowhere's hand. He then goes back in time to give the gem to Jenny Everywhere, revealing that the Everywheres did indeed have the real one, but that the Nowheres did, too.

Jenny Nowhere, desperate to get the crystal back, lunges at Jenny Everywhere, who exchanges the gem for a piece of toast, claiming to have sent the gem to the middle of a star. The Nowheres retreat, and the Destructors doing so, as well, just before the Protectors enter. After some introductions and pleasantries, the Protectors reveal they need to keep pursuing the Destructors, and the Everywheres need to go after the gem which it is revealed was not sent to the middle of a star, but has been simply exchanged with a piece of toast from the Toast Dimension. Both groups go their separate ways.

Worldbuilding

Universes

• The most used setpiece is the universe housing the Gemstone of Destruction. The extent of this universe is unclear, but what can be seen seems to be the inside of some sort of temple, and the gemstone itself is first seen on a pedestal with some sort of decorative markings around it.
• Characters visit several realities, featuring images of characters from various webcomics, all in a two-page spread. These worlds are numerous.
• There exists a Toast Dimension.

Jenny Everywhere

• Johnny Everywhere#The Gemstone of Destruction appears identical to the version at the funeral in COMIC: The Death of Jenny Everywhere. It is suggested that this Johnn has become a separate entity from Jenny, now too far removed from Jenny to access her telepathic network.

Hakhe

• This is the first narrative appearance of Hakhe.
• Hakhe is shown to speak exclusively in Thai, though all the Everywheres seem to understand her.

Jenny Nowhere

• Jenny Nowhere appears in an incarnation similar to her appearance in COMIC: Damn Fine Hostile Takeover.

Other

• By holding hands, all of the Everywhere gang is seen to be able to use their powers together for better precision, including following individuals who are traveling by means of portal.
• Jenny Elsewhere is shown to be able to inhabit the same reality as Jenny Somewhere. This is not explained, as it should not be possible. However, it is not shown how the Nowheres and Everywheres arrived in the reality and it may be a result of combining powers, however temporarily, with others.

Continuity

• This Jenny mentions meeting the Protectors when with the Odds, an event which happened in COMIC: Kokotomo.
• Johnny Everywhere mentions being told that the Protectors are friends with another group of heroes he encountered, referring to COMIC: The Grand Vizier's Garden Party Part Three: Exit, where he met the cast of Karabear Comics Unlimited.
• Jenny Somewhere's design is the same as in COMIC: The Apple of Discord.
