The hammer is a wheel.
Warning: contains spoilers for Immortal Thor #1!In the first issue of Immortal Thor, Marvel fans get a glimpse at Mjolnir's true form, in a mind-blowing reveal as to its secret function in the cosmos. Currently, Thor finds himself fighting the Utgard-Gods - secret beings who exist above Marvel's natural order of the divine, and whose very existence spills extensive secrets about reality itself.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In Immortal Thor #1 , Thor is attacked by Toranos, aka the Utgard-Thor. Toranos is an elder god, and the comic details how his pantheon exist in a higher level of reality and are the beings from who regular gods derive their form and function - the Thor fans know is essentially the shadow cast by Utgard-Thor's larger cosmic presence.
Mjolnir Is the 'Shadow' of Toranos' Wheel While the wheel is referenced in the comic - Toranos begins the issue by declaring "the wheel... turns" - it's easy to miss its significance. Since his creation, Thor has often whirled his hammer in a circle in order to achieve flight or summon specific powers. In accordance with Jack Kirby's iconic art, this is usually pictured as a whirling circle emanating around Thor's fist.
Most intriguingly however, the Utgard-Gods spend the issue decreeing that the Marvel Universe must prove that it has not grown stagnant The being known as Utgard-Loki says "all things must live and grow - or wither and die. This age of Marvels can be no exception." The wheel is an obvious metaphor for this process - it's the nature of the wheel to turn and progress, and if Thor and the Marvel Universe can't keep up, they'll be ground beneath it.
Immortal Thor Is Redefining Everything from Ragnarok to Mjolnir Going by Ewing's earlier work on Immortal Hulk, Immortal Thor will totally upend how fans understand Marvel's cosmic lore, weaving old and often forgotten stories into new triumphs. The idea that Thor's Mjolnir is the shadow of a larger idea - a gigantic wheel - is the beginning of that process, upending preconceptions about Thor's place in the larger cosmos.
