    it's not the length of the hammer that counts, but how you wield it.

    Don't know why in the comics, but it probably relates back to its origin norse mythology.

    It's a long story involving dwarves and Loki. Loki made a bet with a dwarf that the dwarf couldn't outsmith another dwarf. When Loki realized he was going to lose the bet, he did everything he could to sabotage the dwarfs creations. He was partially successful, resulting in Mjolnir having a shorter hammer. (This is an incredibly shortened version of the story in norse paganism)

    Farwind is correct. The hammer was actually supposed to look like the Hammer wielded by The "Thor" of The Heroes Reborn storyarc with the long handle, but Loki wouldn't have none of that.

    I know after Thor had defeated those who sit above, and ended ragnarok he went into some type of deep sleep or something, anyway sometime later he was reborn when Don Blake got the hammer. His costume had changed as well as the hammer's handle length.
