SAI, visionary creator Peach Momoko’s version of Psylocke from her Demon Days saga, makes her return this January in Sai: Dimensional Rivals! The five-issue limited comic book series will be written and drawn by Peach Momoko along with creators including Stan Sakai, Esad Ribić, Natacha Bustos, Mike del Mundo, and Sara Pichelli.
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!
Described as 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.
“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,” Momoko shared. “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!”
