Plot
After Jenny Everywhere materialises in a new universe in a cutting-edge mobile home by the seaside, she thinks she's found peace at last — only to happen upon the Nommo, an ambassador from the Sirius star system who seeks to bring Enlightenment to mankind. Realising the Nommo has no clue about how to go about doing this in a way that will avoid getting him crucified by a mob, Jenny decides to give him some pointers.
Worldbuilding

Other
- The Nommo's people once used a Logos beam to try to enlighten mankind, but the first person the beam hit, Philip K. Dick, became mentally ill before he could spread the Logos to others.
- Jenny Everywhere mentions “Michael Valentine Smith”, ”Donnie Darko” and “Buffy” as fictional “Christ-like figures” whose grisly fates should serve as warnings for the Nommo.
- The interior decor of Jenny Everywhere's house includes a scale model of the Doctor's TARDIS under a glass globe, a framed photograph of Amelia Earhart, and a painting-sized rendition of the Tarot card of “the High Priestess”.
Continuity

They include the main Jenny from COMIC: The Late Shift, the "Right-On By The Sea" Jenny as seen in her introductory splash panel in COMIC: Name's Not Down, Steven Wintle's Jenny as seen in COMIC: Cars, and the “space adventuress” Jenny briefly seen in COMIC: My Bloody Valentine.
- This Jenny wears a shirt with a prominent number 23, while in COMIC: Cars, a different Jenny sings to a friend who wears a different shirt bearing the number 23.
