Few days back we came to know that Fox has officially greenlit an X-Men spinoff movie titled "˜The New Mutants' and the movie will be directed by The Fault in Our Stars director Josh Boone. As Boone hasn't worked on any comic book based project, you might be anxious about how he deals with the X-Men spinoff.
To eliminate such doubts, Josh Boone shares an image demonstrating his connection to the genre via his social media account! The New Mutants director isn't someone to have just been acquainted with the mutants! He has loved X-Men comics since his childhood and that is proved by the image revealing his massive X-Men collection! And, he claims this to be just "˜a small part' of his comic library! Have a look at the director's collection.

His New Mutants Co-Writer Loves Comics Too!
The set of images shared by The New Mutants director doesn't only demonstrate his relationship with the genre, but also that of his co-writer for the upcoming X-Men spinoff and his pal since childhood Knate Gwaltney. We see them both as kids digging into some issue of Batman comics, most probably The Killing Joke. Here's the image for you.
