It would be cool--I'd buy it and check it out at least once. Edit: Being sincere here....one of my guilty pleasures as a young teenager was the old-school _Secret Society of Super-Villains_ comic. I think there's enough room in DC Comics for at least _one_ well-written villain book, you just have to pick the right people.
Catch is: Writing these characters. Making them good characters--as in compelling--while keeping to the "equal/opposite universe" theme. Most writers can't or won't pull it off--they're too busy making a joke out of it as per Bizarro World.
I'd personally like an _updated_ version of the origin story behind the CSA. Something along the lines of: They start out young, idealistic, and powerful....So where did their lives go so wrong? How did they _Not_ become heroes? Is their world just that sick and twisted--or were they themselves somehow responsible for everything being reversed/mirrored?
Basically do a Year Minus One take on them, before they become debauched and all Jersey-Shore-ish.
Edit 2: Have Brian Azzarello write it, maybe J. Scott Campbell do artwork--and do what _Smallville_ did with Lex Luthor, with the main cast. Start out with young, idealistic people and actually make people wonder "Ok, do they really _have to_ turn out so bad?" Put some suspense in it.Would the Crime Syndicate of Amerika have their own series?
Thanks kindly for the Best Answer....and yeah, while I did enjoy Grant Morrison's light-touch, humorous take on it, truth is, making the CSA a bunch of half-wit "wise guys" really doesn't do the idea justice. Villains (aside from The Joker, mind) have reasons for being who they are, too.

Would the Crime Syndicate of Amerika have their own series?That would be nice, but here's a list of their appearances in comics.

I've been searching and I can't seem to find anything that would suggest that they would have their own series.
