The dynamic duo of writer Greg Rucka and artist Nicola Scott, who brought us the definitive modern take on Wonder Woman's origin in "Wonder Woman: Year One," are back together for an exciting new venture in the DC Universe. Their latest collaboration, "Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League," promises a thrilling narrative that diverges significantly from their previous works.

This new six-issue series is part of the DC All In initiative. The intriguing team-up of Cheetah and Cheshire may seem unexpected, but it connects to Rucka and Scott's past DC projects. Cheetah was a central figure in Rucka's two Wonder Woman runs, while Cheshire played a significant role in Scott's "Secret Six" series with Gail Simone.
DC's official description of the series reads:
*Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League showcases titular characters Cheetah and Cheshire meticulously planning and executing a bold heist—robbing the most secure facility in the DC Universe—and getting away with it! But to accomplish the impossible, Cheetah and Cheshire need to recruit a top-tier crew capable of beating not just the odds, but the Justice League themselves…all without stabbing one another in the back as they try to acquire one of the most dangerous devices in the DCU!*
*All that stands between the participants in this six-issue caper and pulling off the most daring extraction in DC history are a few tiny complications…like the most sophisticated orbital platform ever constructed, its AI-driven security system, and one other thing…the smartest and most powerful heroes in the DCU.*
Rucka emphasized the challenge of the story, stating, “This is a crew of villains, or at least nominal bad guys. Not one of them has access to—let alone would be welcomed aboard—the Justice League Watchtower. We’re not making this easy on them. But for Cheetah especially, this is an all-or-nothing play—she needs to do this job, and she’s not going to let anything, or anyone, keep her from getting what she’s after.”
"Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1" is set to hit the shelves on August 6, 2025. In other comic book news, Marvel's new Thunderbolts series is undergoing a rebranding to become "The New Avengers," aligning with developments in the MCU.
