Yea beacause Almighty bauer had "If he counts, Deadpool... again."
Also how good are them Arkham Asylum comics because i saw a review for the joker one and the person pretty much summed it up as being crap.

Score for punctuation. Thank you.
Back on topic;
Villain comics are very often extremely difficult to pull off. Readers want to read about someone and immerse themselves with someone they can relate to and understand on some level.
It's ridiculously difficult for all but the most skilled of writers to write a character the readers can root for without compromising his 'evility,' and making him more of an anti-hero.
Hell, even look to the Flash Rogues. Right now, they're a great read, but it's partially because they are 'bad guys' fighting 'badder guys.'

And the Thunderbolts are bad guys fighting amongst themselves ... or beating up no name heroes who you see and go "oh hey, I remember that guy from *insert hero here*'s comic 10 years ago".

I couldn't agree less. lowered powered villains are more interesting over the long haul ... Taskmaster, Doc Ock, Kingpin, etc ... more vulnerable characters FTW!
Apocalypse. No, not about his past. I propose a comic about his struggles to conquer the world. His various trials into improving mutant kind. No, I don't want a Venom or Thanos anti-hero comic book. I want it to be about the villain, his perspective of a better world under his dictatorship, and the villains and heroes in the MU that delay his conquest. Basically its the reverse of the theme of heroes' "fighting for a better world."
Aside from the X-Men, Avengers, and FF, his conflict with Loki should be furthered, run-ins with Ultron and Doom's visions, his conflicting goals with Bastion and other mutant haters, etc.
