This series marks a nostalgic return for Rucka and Scott, drawing on their past work with Cheetah in Rucka's two Wonder Woman runs and Cheshire in Scott's original Secret Six series with writer Gail Simone. The seemingly random pairing of these supervillains sets the stage for an intriguing narrative.
DC's official description of the book teases an audacious plot:
*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 himself shared his excitement about the project, stating, "I won’t bury the lede. 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 hit the shelves on August 6, 2025.In other comic book news, Marvel's new Thunderbolts series is being rebranded as The New Avengers, mirroring the MCU.
