In 2007, Devil's Due Publishing acquired the rights to Sheena and attempted to modernize the concept, with a series of one-shots and mini-series plotted by ''Film/DieHard'' writer Steven E. de Souza. The new series moved Sheena from Africa to South America, where she was TheChosenOne who protected the jungles of the BananaRepublic of Val Verde and the indigenous people from the corruption of the local government and Caldwell Industries. Ironically, Sheena was truly Rachel Caldwell - the long-lost granddaughter of the industrialist who sought to exploit Val Verde's resources, who was raised by natives after her parents died in a plane crash trying to flee her wicked grandfather. The first mini-series ended with Sheena resolving to play the dutiful granddaughter and spoiled heiress, while seeking to fight her grandfather's wickedness in secret.
Moonstone Books briefly acquired the rights to Sheena in 2014 and published a three-issue mini-series set in the same reality as de Souza's revamp. Sheena also made an appearance in their Phases of the Moon mini-series, teamed with other fellow GoldenAgeOfComics heroes Captain Action and Domino Lady.

''Sheena, Queen of the Jungle'' is a comic book character created by WillEisner and S.M. "Jerry" Iger (exactly who came up with the original concept is in dispute as both men have claimed credit). Sheena first appeared in a British tabloid comic called ''Wags'' in 1937. Her American debut occurred a year later as a reprint published in the first issue of Fiction House's ''Jumbo Comics''. Sheena soon became the featured character in ''Jumbo Comics'' and appeared in every one of the book's 167 issues, ending in April of 1957.

Koba took the orphaned Sheena under his wing and she grew up to become skilled in the ways of the jungle. Under the tutelage of the witch doctor, she became a strong, courageous and beautiful JunglePrincess. As an adult, Sheena met Bob Reynolds, a hunter/explorer who would become her LoveInterest. Along with Bob and her pet ape Chim, Sheena spent the majority of her time battling evil white hunters, slave traders, misguided natives and the occasional rampaging wildlife. She also frequently found herself having to rescue the hapless Bob, who was always blundering into sticky situations.
