Marvel Comics has confirmed the date when Matt Fraction will take over on Thor.
The Invincible Iron Man writer was originally scheduled to take over the title earlier in the year before Kieron Gillen's run on the book was extended.
He will now begin his run in September with Thor #615.
Gillen assumed writing duties following J.M. Straczynski's critically-acclaimed relaunch of the series.
"I can't wait to unleash our Thor on you unsuspecting humans," said Fraction.
"Things were intimidating enough when Pasqual, Matt and I had to follow up JMS and Olivier - that we've got to take up arms after Kieron and company's stellar stand makes it all the more so.
"All we can promise you is that Thor will overflow with colossal and cosmic action, giant space gods smashing each other in the faces with hammers, and all of the earth trembling in the balance. In short, everything that has made Thor great."
Joining Fraction on the book will be artists Pasqual Ferry and Matt Hollingsworth.
