Yes it's a queer one and no mistake. Kieron Gillen and Billy Tan were finishing their short stint on Thor with Matt Fraction and Pascual Ferry taking over from #610.

Then, suddenly Kieron Gillen was asked to do another issue with Doug Braithwaite, so he did. Double-sized too. Then Matt and Pascual came on board with #611. The solicitation read;

All new creative team! The perfect jumping-on point! A bold new era for THOR begins under writer Matt Fraction and artist Pasqual Ferry! In the wake of SIEGE, Asgard must take its proper place as the Golden Realm, most glorious of the nine worlds of myth. But that means Thor's home isn't just a beacon…it's a target! And what happens to the Asgardians and the denizens of all nine worlds — including Earth! — when a dark, destructive force from another reality comes on the warpath? 32 PGS./Rated T+ $3.99

And now the new solicitations have been released…

THOR #612

Written by KIERON GILLEN, art by Doug Braithwaite, cover by MICO SUAYAN

Thor goes to Hell! In the aftermath of SIEGE, heavy metal horror and adventure! Fan-favorite writer Kieron Gillen continues his bestselling and critically acclaimed THOR run, reteamed with Doug Braithwaite. A lingering menace created by fiendish Loki as an afterthought returns to wreak havoc on the Asgardians! Can Thor and his unlikely allies defeat this devastating force of destruction?! Or in their weakened state after the battles of Siege, will this new, ancient enemy prove too strong? 32 pages, $3.99.

Clearly Kieron Gillen and Thor are joined together by forces that are too strong for Marvel editorial to pull apart.
