THE PLANET JOTUNHEIM
With the death of Laufey and Loki's attack on their world, the Frost Giants are a broken people....And yet they sense something has happened.
THE PLANET NIDAVELLIR
The Troll Lords know it, as well. For so many millennia they have coveted the Dwarven forges. Once they realize that Asgard cannot come to King Eitri's defense, they will strike.
THE BADOON WORLDS
Despite their primitive nature, the Badoon feel our absence. Several of their clans have fallen into Civil War. Their savagery and bloodlust will eventually spread from planet to planet, unchallenged.
THE VANAHEIM SYSTEM
And the Maruaders amass near Vanaheim.
The comic book is set before the events of Thor: The Dark World and after Marvel's The Avengers and tells of unrest breaking out across the cosmos with the Asgardian Bifrost bridge destroyed after the events of the first Thor film. If you recall in The Avengers, Loki asks 'How much dark matter did the All-Father have to conjure to get you [to Earth]?" The way the exchange unfolds, it's implied by Loki that Odin used dark matter at great cost to himself. Interesting enough dark matter is mentioned again in previously revealed images of Malekith the Accursed and his Dark Elf followers who wield 'dark matter' guns. The trailer says Malekith's people come from the darkness so dark matter may play an important role in Thor: The Dark World.
