Wormhole
You may be looking for the comic story.

A wormhole, also known as an Einstein-Rosen bridge, (PROSE: Dominion [+]Loading...["Dominion (novel)"]) was a passage which linked two separate points in space-time, usually serving as a shortcut between those two points allowing two distant points to be drawn together closer. Wormholes could also form between universes in the same multiverse.
