This captivating six-issue series is set to be released under the DC All In initiative. The seemingly unusual pairing of Cheetah and Cheshire draws from Rucka and Scott's past contributions to DC, with Cheetah playing a significant role in Rucka's two Wonder Woman runs and Cheshire being a key figure in Scott's *Secret Six* series with writer Gail Simone.
Here's the official synopsis from DC:
*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! To pull off the impossible, Cheetah and Cheshire must assemble a top-tier crew capable of outsmarting not just the odds, but the Justice League themselves...all while navigating the treacherous waters of potential betrayal as they aim to acquire one of the most dangerous devices in the DCU!
*The only obstacles standing between them and the most daring extraction in DC history are a few minor complications...like the most sophisticated orbital platform ever constructed, its AI-driven security system, and, of course, the smartest and most powerful heroes in the DCU.*
“I won’t bury the lede,” Rucka stated. “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.In other comic book news, Marvel's new Thunderbolts series is being rebranded as *The New Avengers*, aligning with the MCU.
