The comic books

You must have heard by now that the X-Men comic book seen in the movie was printed especially for the film. So this can’t been seen as a break in the fourth wall, as some might have believed when the scene was featured in the trailers.

However, revealing the X-Men comic books in Laura’s backpack indicates that the mutants were once legendary figures in their cinematic world. This can be traced back to the events of Days of Future Past, in which Mystique saved the President of the United States (sure, she saved him from an evil mutant, but that doesn’t really matter).

The comic books in Logan are actually a testament to what the mutants meant to the world – and, of course, what they became. And because the events have been embellished (or, in other words, altered), it is also revealed that they haven’t been in the spotlight for quite a while.

And this brings us to the core of Logan’s story: No more mutants (a nod at another X-Men comic book story line).

Oh…and there’s also a Wolverine doll…
