Authors Greg Rucka and illustrator Nicola Scott are collaborating once again to create an entirely new narrative within the DC Universe titled “Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League,” following their acclaimed retelling of Wonder Woman’s origins in “Wonder Woman: Year One.”
Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League,” penned by Rucka and brought to life through illustrations by Scott, features color work by Annette Kwok and lettering by Troy Peteri. For an early glimpse of the first issue, browse the slideshow gallery provided below.
This new six-issue series will be published as part of the ongoing DC All In initiative. While this particular supervillain pairing might seem random, the series hearkens back to Rucka and Scott’s respective earlier careers at DC, with Cheetah being a major part of Rucka’s two Wonder Woman runs and Cheshire being one of the main characters in Scott’s original Secret Six series with writer Gail Simone.
Here’s how DC officially describes the book:
In “Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League,” the main characters, Cheetah and Cheshire, carefully plan and carry out an audacious robbery at what is considered the safest location within the DC Universe. They manage to pull off this feat successfully! However, pulling off such an extraordinary theft requires them to assemble a highly skilled team ready to overcome both challenges and formidable opponents like theJustice League itself—all while ensuring their own interests align during the pursuit of one of the deadliest gadgets in theDCU, all without betraying each other along the way.
Everything separating the players in this six-part adventure from achieving the boldest retrieval in DC lore are some minor hitches… such as the most advanced space station ever built, its artificially intelligent defense mechanisms, and another factor…the wittiest and strongest superheroes within the DC Universe.
I won’t beat around the bush,” Rucka stated. “This team consists of villains or at best anti-heroes. None of them have entry into—or would even be considered for—a spot on the Justice League Watchtower. This isn’t going to be simple for them. However, particularly for Cheetah, this mission is make-or-break—she must complete this task, and nothing or nobody will stop her from achieving her objective.
Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1 will be released on August 6, 2025.
