Rucka and Scott reunite for CHEETAH AND CHESHIRE ROB THE JUSTICE LEAGUE

The Justice League Watchtower is about to be infiltrated by an unlikely pair of Cat Burglars. DC Comics has announced Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League, a new six-issue miniseries that reunites the superstar creative team of writer Greg Rucka and artist Nicola Scott. Colorist Annette Kwok and letterer Troy Peteri round out the creative team for the in-continuity All In series, which launches in August and finds Cheetah and Cheshire breaking into the headquarters of the world’s greatest superheroes.

Here’s how DC describes Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League:

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.

Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League is the latest collaboration between Rucka and Scott. The two previously teamed for the “Year One” storyline in the Rebirth-era Wonder Woman ongoing series, as well as on the creator-owned series Black Magick. Along with a main cover by Scott and Kwok, the first issue of this new series will sport variant covers by Gerald Parel and Lesley “Leirix” Li.

In a statement announcing the new series, Rucka spoke a bit more about the crew Cheshire and Cheetah assemble for the job, as well as their motivations for attempting such a daring crime:

“I won’t bury the lede,” said Rucka. “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.”
