Mjolnir

In a 2022 storyline, Mjolnir is reimagined not merely as Thor's legendary weapon but as a character with its own identity, brought into focus alongside Thor Odinson and the threatening God of Hammers, who puts the hammer's very nature at stake.

Few artifacts in Marvel history carry the mythic weight of Mjolnir, and in 2022 — under the visionary hands of writer Donny Cates and artist Nic Klein — the legendary hammer stepped into the spotlight as a character in its own right. Debuting in Thor #20 in the Modern Age, this reimagining places Mjolnir alongside Thor Odinson, Odin, Valkyrie, and the ominous God of Hammers, suggesting a story where the weapon's own identity is very much at stake. With appearances spanning Thor, Carnage, and the celebrated Thor by Donny Cates run, Mjolnir proves there's far more to this enchanted mainstay than meets the eye — and for fans of bold, mythologically charged Marvel storytelling, that's reason enough to seek these issues out.
