Marvel Comics has announced a reshuffling of its line of Thor comics to tie in with the release of Marvel Studios' Thor film this summer.
Beginning in April, Thor will revert back to its original title of Journey Into Mystery, and will receive a new creative team in the form of previous Thor writer Kieron Gillen and artist Doug Braithwaite.
As a result, writer Matt Fraction will move off Thor in order to launch a new ongoing series called The Mighty Thor alongside artist Olivier Coipel.
Copiel is no stranger to Thor comics, having relaunched the character back in 2007 with J. Michael Straczynski.
"The God of Thunder ain't never been mightier than now!" Fraction said of the new series. "Everything is going beyond epic in The Mighty Thor and I couldn't be more thrilled to have Olivier on board for the book's maiden voyage."
Marvel editor Charlie Beckerman added: "It's a really exciting time to be working on Thor. With the release of Marvel Studios' Thor this May, we wanted to be sure that we pulled out all the big guns."
The Mighty Thor #1 will be published in April along with Journey Into Mystery #622.
