Plot
The issue picks up some time after the events of the first Thor film. With the Bifrost in ruins thanks to the climactic battle between Loki and Thor, the enemies of Asgard are seizing the opportunity to exploit an adversarial weakness. It's implied that Hogun will play a significant role in Vanaheim's conflict with The Marauders as he is Vanir not Asgardian. Stuck in Asgard, Thor keeps a watchful eye on Jane Foster through the all-seeing abilities of Heimdall. Jane is also keeping busy, she's working on a device that will create a wormhole which will allow Thor to return. She builds a prototype machine but it fails spectacularly. This is probably how Thor will return to Earth in the film and how the other Asgardians will be able to get to the other Nine Realms.
The comic then fast forwards to one year later, with The Realm Eternal still in repair mode. Everyone has pressing concerns about looming conflicts with the Trolls, Marauders, Badoon and Ice Giants and have seemingly forgotten about Loki, having written him off for dead. Except for his mother Frigga who uses her powers to locate her foster-son in Chituari space with Thanos, The Other and their army. Its Frigga who alerts Odin and Thor to Loki's plan regarding the Tesseract which prompts Odin to lead Thor to a room with a large "Dark Energy" generator. However, harnessing this power will have unspecified negative consequences on the All-father and Thor. Indeed we see Thor arrive on Earth or Midgard if you will, but he crashed into a mountain and is badly damaged. So it would appear that while we saw Loki arrive and get taken into custody by The Avengers in the early beginnings of the film, Thor was crash-landed, unconscious and reeling from the effects of the Dark Energy.
