    This first issue only gets us to the title, essentially, but it doesn't matter between Rucka's clever writing and Scott's gorgeous, all-too-vivid art, these two already have me hooked into their mad scheme. Read Full Review

    Nerd Initiative - Matthew Roth Aug 6, 2025

    Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1 hits surprisingly close to home and is a narrative-driven character story that will pull you into this world immediately. I left this issue hoping they would succeed in robbing the League, and that is a testament to the work done! Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - B. Radtz Aug 7, 2025

    Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott started this mini with guns blazing. Ruckas intimate relationship with these characters is evident with each line of dialogue, while Scotts art is vibrant, and warm. These two are some of the best regarded players in the business, and they showed they arent here to play. Read Full Review

    Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1 is the perfect way to kick off a story. There's so much going on in this first issue that it grabs you immediately. There's no way to read this issue and not want to know what's going to happen next. Rucka and Scott make an amazing team, and if the rest of this book can match the first issue, this will be an awesome series indeed. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Akash Sil Aug 6, 2025

    Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1 is a great start to a hopefully amazing series. Yes the pace is slow and the heist plot isn't exactly novel, but the characterization of the leads is great (nice to see them not being treated like insane psychopaths that kill for the lolz). The art is fantastic, with a surprising level of variety when it comes to backgrounds. Which becomes even more impressive once you flip the book and realize that it was mostly the leads interacting in this issue. If you want to see more comics like this buy this book. Read Full Review

    Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1 is a fantastic debut. It's a testament to what happens when a creative team at the peak of their powers gets to tell a story they're passionate about. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Collier Jennings Aug 6, 2025

    Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1 is a solid, witty and often blood-soaked start to a supervillain heist story. Now the question that's at the center of all heist stories remains: how will it all go wrong? Read Full Review

    But Why Tho? - William Tucker Aug 6, 2025

    Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League Issue 1 gives a gory limelight to underappreciated villains. Rucka recognizes how fantastic both Cheetah and Cheshire are, and yet they get so little attention on a larger scale. Read Full Review

    Major Spoilers - Jonathan Cadotte Aug 10, 2025

    Cheetah and Cheshire Rob The Justice League #1 isn't sprinting anywhere. Perhaps with the title sort of spelling it all out, it doesn't need to. Instead, we get an engaging focus on the two leads and the nature of their interactions which does a lot of work creating some depth for these two. Read Full Review

    Graphic Policy - Brett Aug 6, 2025

    Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1 is a solid start. While it isn't flashy, it's an entertaining issue that gets you to want to come back for more. Overall, based on the first issue, it's a story that'll likely be so much better read at once when it's collected, but we'll have to wait for that and the first issue is entertaining on its own and worth checking out.

    Kabooooom - Matt Morrison Aug 6, 2025

    It is possible that Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League will read better as a single volume than it does as a monthly miniseries. As it stands, this first issue is gorgeous, but suffers from slow pacing. It is not bad, despite that, but I can't work up much enthusiasm for the idea as other recent series have done the super-heist concept with greater economy of action. Read Full Review

    A bit on the gory side - this should have been a Black Label comic maybe - but the art and the interaction between our leads is wonderful. And who doesn't love a heist story?

    I love Rucka, and the art in here is just amazing. But the McGuffin in here is just plain dumb. All of the powers of the Justice League are sitting in a box waiting for someone to steal them? How does that even make sense? Can someone explain it to me, please? I do like the interaction between the characters, and I keep waiting for them to turn on one another. There's no doubt that Rucka is a good writer, but what the hell is he thinking?

    The tone was much lighter/cheesier than I expected from Rucka but there's potential for this to be a fun romp of a heist story so I'll keep reading.
