}}'''''Damn Fine Hostile Takeover''''' was a standalone Jenny Everywhere comic story written by [[Joe Macaré]] and drawn by [[Nelson Evergreen]]. Released in two halves, 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 (comic story)|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. | 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 (comic story)|Name's Not Down]]''), it also introduced [[Jenny Nowhere]] as a last-page sequel hook.

Unfortunately, although the [[Jez Cock|corrupt executive himself]] is nothing formidable, he turns out to be evil enough to have a literal army of [[Faceless Cyborg Ninja]]s for bodyguard, and things get heated. | ||
