Wonder Woman: Year One Creators Reunite for Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League

Writer Greg Rucka and artist Nicola Scott teamed up for what may well be the definitive modern take on Wonder Woman's origin story in Wonder Woman: Year One. Now the two are reuniting to tell a very different story in the DC Universe, one called Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League.

Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League is written by Rucka and illustrated by Scott, with colors by Annette Kwok and letters by Troy Peteri. Check out the slideshow gallery below for an early look at the first issue:

This new six-issue series will be published as part of the ongoing DC All In initiative. While this particular supervillain pairing might seem random, the series hearkens back to Rucka and Scott's respective earlier careers at DC, with Cheetah being a major part of Rucka's two Wonder Woman runs and Cheshire being one of the main characters in Scott's original Secret Six series with writer Gail Simone.

Here's DC's official description of the book:

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.

“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.
