With Ultimate X-Men from Peach Momoko coming to an end along with the rest of the Ultimate Universe line, fans have wondering what’s next for the acclaimed comic writer and artist. It looks like they don’t have to wait long because Marvel has announced Sai: Dimensional Rivals, a five-issue limited series focused about the titular character, a version of Psylocke from Momoko’s acclaimed Demon Days saga. The five-issue limited comic book series will be written and drawn by Peach Momoko along with superstar creators including Stan Sakai, Esad Ribić, Natacha Bustos, Mike del Mundo, Sara Pichelli and many more.
Here’s how Marvel described the series:
Introduced in Demon Days: X-Men #1 in 2021, SAI is a psychic warrior who uses her deadly skills to fight Yokai in feudal Japan. The character is a bold reimagining of the X-Men’s resident ninja telepath, Psylocke, and has gone on to inspire the fan-favorite breakout version of Psylocke featured in Marvel Rivals. Now, Sai is back and breaking out the Momoko-verse for a thrilling adventure across a new, creator-driven multiverse in search of a unique set of Infinity Stones!
An almost dreamlike work, Peach Momoko has assembled a collective of artists, all telling one story, with many parts, as Sai makes her way through the Multiverse. A true spectacle of the comics medium, unlike anything you’ve seen before!
Momoko shared the following:
“I’m happy to start a new comic about Sai with artists I’ve met at comic events and through work and now consider friends. For this series, Sai will be the main character. I asked various artists to have fun depicting Sai in their own unique vision. Sai will be traveling between different universes and having different experiences based on each artist’s own perspectives. I think it will be a wonderful collaboration and I hope everyone enjoys Sai’s new charm!”
