Thor has lost his mighty hammer Mjolnir, seemingly for good this time. But that might not be a bad thing, as Marvel seems to realize that the God of Thunder is better off without his hammer.
After years of teasing, Marvel is finally taking away Thor's hammer for good, as the character is admittedly better without it. Even non-comic book readers know that Thor is rarely seen without Mjolnir, a hammer that only he can lift. Unfortunately, Marvel has decided that this aspect of the character is holding Thor back, and in Thor #20, the God of Thunder realizes that Mjolnir is lost - perhaps this time, for good.
In the current comics continuity, Mjolnir has been acting very strangely as of late; Thor has difficultly wielding it and sometimes can't even lift the hammer at all. However, others can lift it without effort...even Thor's brother Loki, to the surprise of everyone . In previous issues, Thor charged the Avengers with watching the hammer, but the Avengers subsequently reported the hammer as stolen, somehow vanishing altogether.
The sentient Mjolnir means Thor is once again without his trusty hammer. This has precedent in the comics; in Original Sin, Thor temporarily lost the ability to hold Mjolnir and it fell from his hand. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Thor: Ragnarok, Thor's hammer was memorably destroyed by Hela, forcing him to use the axe Stormbreaker as a replacement . Thor has been defined by his weapon and whether or not he can lift it.
The self-wielding Mjolnir may spell doom for the Ten Realms, but this is ultimately a positive development for Thor. Marvel has teased readers long enough with the God losing his hammer for good in various other stories and continuities, but now it's time the company made good on their promise. Thor will become a stronger character overall...if he can survive Mjolnir's wrath. .
