Video game journalist and comic book writer Kieron Gillen has been selected to write at least six issues of Marvel’s Thor. He will be following the critically acclaimed run on the title by J. Michael Straczynski, and as he states on his website, “JMS’ sudden departure from the book leaves a pair of Galactus-sized shoes to fill, or at least waddle around amusingly in. So it’s a pressure situation.”
I haven’t read anything of his before, but the editors at Marvel obviously have faith in him, having given him S.W.O.R.D. and Thor to write, so let’s wait and see what he can do.
