Are there any other gods out there that NEED some outside help to be a god? I mean Loki is god of mischief/evil.... Amora is amora, Odin has the Odin Force, but he's still 'Odin'... Heimdell is the watchman. MCU has the sword for the bridge, but he's still the watchmen...
My point is that it was long established that Thor was not 'God of Hammers'. He was god of Thunder. The hammer gives people the 'power of Thor'... not the 'power of Mjolnir'. Even Back in the Donald Blake days I remember a few instances where he would shoot lightning without the hammer.
The hammer may increase his control (and do a whole lot of OTHER things... flight, shield, dimensional travel etc...) and he has a belt to boost his strength... but I don't recall any other gods who are gods only because he/she has a specific item... Without his hammer he should be weaker Thunder god... but a thunder god all the same.
If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not

I think to some degree that's true, but I think Aaron himself has done an even bigger job of that by placing so much emphasis on the hammer, Thor placing his entire self-worth in lifting the hammer, and that "Thor" is a mantle, not a name, that any normal human can take up and go to town with.
The idea that Thor can summon the storm without Mjolnir is a fairly recent one, not counting that first appearance of Nuclear Man. A much longer standing idea is that Mjolnir was created specifically with Thor in mind, to be his to wield its power when he was ready.
Even Simonson touched on this...

Here's my problem...
Odin created Mjolnir. He created Stormbreaker. Why can't he create a new hammer for Thor?
(All of this overlooks the problem that Thor should be dead after the destruction of Mjolnir.)
nice, so Thor is a joke now.
Jane is still the best.
this chapter(Thor #1 2018)was a joke.

a Thor book deserves/needs a better art team. I'm used to Copiel, Immonen, and Dauterman. it's hard to settle after that.
