Kieron Gillen and Doug Braithwaite Return to Asgard with Journey Into Mystery #622
OK, so earlier today, Marvel announced that Thor was coming to an end with issue #621, and then current Thor writer Matt Fraction would be writing a new Thor series, called The Mighty Thor, which would start with a new #1 issue.
Now they have announced that they are bringing back Journey Into Mystery, and starting it at issue #622, which is what number the next issue of Thor would have been. Not only that, but it’ll be written by previous Thor scribe, Kieron Gillen.
Are they trying to confuse the crap out of everyone?
That being said, Kieron’s a damn good writer, and his run on Thor kicked some serious ass, so this will be well worth checking out! Marvel.com have also interviewed Gillen about the upcoming title, which you can see by clicking here.
From the press release:
Fear Itself Strikes JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY
Loki vs. Fear Itself! This April, the blockbuster Thor creative team of Kieron Gillen and Doug Braithwaite return to Asgard with Journey Into Mystery #622! Prepare for a blood and thunder fueled epic that pits the malevolent mind of Thor’s brother against an evil more twisted and far blacker than his own. Can the eternal trickster and the Mighty Avenger work together to fight back this fearsome foe? And, in the face of Fear Itself, can he be trusted with the lives of those he has betrayed so many times before? Unlock the armory and man the parapets because, this April, the World Tree’s final fate lies in the hands of Marvel’s master manipulator as the Thor ongoing series becomes Journey Into Mystery!
“My year on Thor was just glorious hyperspeed chaos, from start to end,” said Gillen. “[When] I was asked to do Journey Into Mystery…my first thought is exactly what we’re doing with it. Put it like this: I couldn’t be more excited if I had an invite to go drinking in the halls of Valhalla.”
Plus, get caught all caught up on Thor since he made his return to the Marvel Universe in J. Michael Straczynski’s epic run and discover the hidden truths of Loki’s reincarnation, only in the oversized Journey Into Mystery #622, on sale this April!
