Tomorrow! Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #6! Answering the question EVERYONE has been asking: Just how strong IS Featherweight?

Art by @nicolascottart.bsky.social, colors by Annette Kwok, lettering by Troy Petreri, from @dc.com !
Solomon Grundy tries to take the VERY HEAVY and IMPRESSIVE LOOKING Power Bank from petite Featherweight, in her pink cat-eared hoodie, who is holding it one handed. Cheetah and Black Adam face each other in foreground. In panel 2, Featherweight has opened her grip and Grundy is flying backwards, smashing into a tree. Cuz he's a big stupid dummy who should've known better.

So having listened to “Through This Fire Across from Peter Balkan” for a fourth time straight through, I think it might be a masterpiece.

Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #5 is out tomorrow! WITNESS THE GLORY OF @nicolascottart.bsky.social and Annette Kwok and Troy Peteri! Variants by Gerald Parel and Elizabeth Torque!
Elizabeth Torque cover featuring Cheetah, Klarion & Teekl, Hazard, Cheshire, and Featherweight! They're all looking down on us meanly! Nicola Scott's cover, featuring Cheetah on all fours on the Watchtower, lurking towards us, unaware that Wonder Woman stands sternly behind her. The words "Sticky Fingers, Sticky Situations..." are printed to the left. Gerald Parel's variant cover, showing Featherweight. She is looking at us being extraordinarily cute, in a pink hoodie with cat ears and a rose-pink bow at her collar.

A very tired and still waking up Renee Montoya stands at her bathroom mirror trying to get Red Tornado to shut-up about the morning briefing because she hasn't had coffee yet. Renee wears a white ribbed tank and black shorts, her hair tied up and back. We've all been there, even if we haven't given up coffee.

Lot of good energy. Lot of community. Lot of honking horns.

Liked this sign in particular.

Very saddened to hear of Robert Redford's passing. He seemed a man who walked his talk as best he could, and his work both in front of and behind the camera brought much joy.

Some favorites, in no order:
Redford in 3 Days of the Condor, about a CIA analyst who inadvertently becomes an assassin. Redford and Newman in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, one of my all time favorite films. Redford in Jeremiah Johnson, depicted in his mountain man garb standing against the snow-covered Rocky Mountains.

I am now reliably informed that Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1 IS available from a certain online digital service that was not able to get it to your hot little hands yesterday.

So what’re you waiting for, hmm? @nicolascottart.bsky.social wants to know!
