This new venture is part of DC's ongoing All In initiative and taps into the rich histories of both characters. Cheetah, a staple in Rucka's previous Wonder Woman runs, and Cheshire, a key figure from Scott's work on Secret Six with Gail Simone, come together in a narrative that promises high stakes and intense action.
DC describes the series as follows:
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 emphasized the challenge faced by the villains, 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 slated for release on August 6, 2025, promising fans an exhilarating journey into the world of DC's most notorious villains.In related news, Marvel's new Thunderbolts series is undergoing a rebranding to The New Avengers, aligning with developments in the MCU.
