including the Queen and Sir Ivory Honeyshot see that Black Bifrost
open and a figure emerge: it is Frank Castle, the Punisher, come to
bring them to the battle....
In Asgardia the Dark Elf saboteurs wait
for reinforcements that never come, leaving the All-Mother
Jane Foster, Daredevil, and Heimdall at a loss....
In Svartalfheim, Freyja, armed with and
empowered by the sword known as the Bitterblade, holds the Black
Bifrost while her companions are dispatched to the other realms to
gather allies: She-Hulk to the Dwarves of Nidavellir, Blade to the
Vanir of Vanaheim, Ghost Rider to the giant spiders of Niffleheim....
In Jotunheim, Captain America,
Wolverine, Spider-Man, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist return with the
rescued Thor to Avengers Mountain where Black Panther and Thori lead
the defense against the invaders. Shuri, in control of the dead
Celestial, unleashes its power and the results are devastating.
Meanwhile, Odin, learning that Freyja has been left alone in
Svartalfheim, demands to be sent to join her....
All around Midgard, the heroes are
fighting Malekith's forces: in China it's Captain Marvel, Silk, and
Shang-Chi. Roz Solomon leads the Agents of Wakanda against the Frost
Giants destroying New York. But Malekith is at Stonehenge, twisting
Venom to his own wicked purposes....
Malekith goes to Svartalfheim and
spears Freyja though the torso with a distorted Venom; as he crows,
Odin arrives, wearing the armor designed for him by Tony Stark. The
estranged couple reconcile in battle and both give their lives to
destroy the Black Bifrost....
As the new forces assemble, Jane
prepares to send them into battle...and the army's leader steps
forward: the Mighty Thor.....
