Writer Greg Rucka and artist Nicola Scott collaborated to create what could be considered the definitive modern interpretation of Wonder Woman’s origin in Wonder Woman: Year One. Now, the duo reunites for a distinct tale set within the DC Universe titled Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League.
Written by Rucka with art by Scott, featuring colors by Annette Kwok and letters by Troy Peteri, you can get an early glimpse of issue #1 in the slideshow gallery below:

This six-issue run is part of the ongoing DC All In initiative. Although this villain pairing may appear unusual, it nods to Rucka and Scott’s earlier work at DC: Cheetah played a significant role in Rucka’s two Wonder Woman runs, while Cheshire was a central figure in Scott’s original Secret Six series alongside writer Gail Simone.
Here is the official synopsis from DC:
Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League features its titular duo meticulously planning and executing a daring heist—stealing from the most secure facility in the DC Universe—and successfully escaping! To pull off this impossible feat, Cheetah and Cheshire must assemble an elite crew capable of outsmarting not only the odds but also the Justice League itself…all without betraying one another while securing one of the DCU’s most dangerous artifacts!
Between these six-issue protagonists and pulling off the boldest extraction in DC history lie several complications: a sophisticated orbital platform, its AI-driven security systems, and perhaps most notably, the smartest and most powerful heroes in the DC Universe.
“I won’t bury the lede,” Rucka stated. “This is a crew of villains, or at least nominal bad guys. None of them have access to—let alone would be welcomed aboard—the Justice League Watchtower. We’re not making it easy for them. But for Cheetah especially, this is an all-or-nothing gamble; she needs to complete this job and won’t let anything—or anyone—stand in her way.”
Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1 hits shelves on August 6, 2025.In other comic news, Marvel’s new Thunderbolts series is being rebranded as The New Avengers, aligning with the MCU storyline.
