Please God no.

[SXVA]

LMAO

Almost spit out my tea, who came up with this idea... show yourselves.

I'll try to hold off complete dismissal until i see some of them but the idea sounds ridiculous on paper. Never know, ridiculous ideas sometimes work. Looking forward to seeing them, if anything it will give me a good laugh or two... or hundred.

[Kyer]

Please God no.

Mega ditto that. (When will the Selfies and the very term Selfie just die already? Die! Die! Kill it!)

Yet another example that DC doesn't want my business: stupid a* covers. Okay, fine if a display of such covers were done as a joke book, but good gosh almighty already.

Haven't you stopped reading DC for the past 2 years? Hows the Selfie going to help/not help that?

[FIFTY-TWO (52)]

I think it could be fun.
Imagine heroes caught in a fun moment and smiling. Booo, hiss, terrible!

[Lee Stone]

And... the Golden Age Selfie...
Could be used for Earth-2..?

I want a selfie of Wonder Woman!

[Sacred Knight]

"DC's too dark and no fun"

C announces plans to release purely silly and fun selfie covers:

"That's so stupid!"

Please God no.

Yep. (But I'm still interested in the characters if not the writing and when able check out what is going on. Almost went and ordered the third Flash trade because I started thinking....maybe I'm wrong to feel the way I do about DC Editorial?
but then the next day they pulled the Wally thing and I cancelled it.
Even so, any mention of Flash, Superman, Nightwing, Green Lantern, Booster Gold, Justice League, JSA, these words still capture my attention.)

Haha it's so ridiculous, it's funny and makes me want to see which ones they come up with. I think we can safely put this in the "so bad, it's good" category.

I'm all for fun. I LIVE for fun. Fun is why I came to comics in the first place.
But selfie is already outlived any good name it ever had. Been run into the ground. Maybe when selfie first became popular this would have been okay. Now it's just a facepalm stunt.
