Did you shell out 8 bucks for Uncanny X-Men #1 on paper? You fool! Clearly the digital version is the one you should have purchased, as according to a press release, just like Return of Wolverine #1 before it, any digital copies of Uncanny X-Men #1 purchased on the Marvel Comics App or Digital Comics Shop will unlock a special director's cut version, featuring a behind-the-scenes sneak peek, scripts, character designs, and more.

No word on whether the digital code that comes with physical copies counts, and we're personally too neurotic to actually take those stickers off, lest they damage the value of the comic, so we have no idea whether that was the case with Return of Wolverine #1. Anybody out there in reader land know? Let us know in the comments.

Here's the press release from Marvel:
