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 reuniting 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 work.
"Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League" is penned by Rucka and illustrated by Scott, with vibrant colors by Annette Kwok and meticulous lettering by Troy Peteri. Dive into the early visuals of the first issue with our exclusive preview gallery:

This new six-issue series is part of DC's ongoing All In initiative. While the pairing of Cheetah and Cheshire might seem unconventional, it resonates with Rucka and Scott's earlier contributions to DC. Cheetah played a significant role in Rucka's two Wonder Woman runs, and Cheshire was a key character in Scott's original Secret Six series with writer Gail Simone.
Here's the official DC description of the book:
Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League showcases the titular characters 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.
“I won’t bury the lede,” said Rucka in a statement. “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 will be released on August 6, 2025.
