“Sai: Dimensional Rivals #4” Review – A Perfect Masterpiece

Fresh off of being thrown into a cup of tea by Galactako, “Sai: Dimensional Rivals #4” follows the titular hero on her further adventures through the multiverse. Who will she run into next? Will she learn more about the seventh stone? All will be found out in due time…

Writers & Artists: Peach Momoko, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Phil Noto, Jim Mahfood
Colorist: Morry Hollowell
Letterer: Joe Sabino

Storytelling At It’s Finest

Where do I even begin here? The writing from all involved here just felt absolutely immaculate. Momoko, Camuncoli, Noto and Mahfood all work their magic to the top of their game. The pacing, the added story details, and the energy all top tier. For example, the entire opening sequence is an absolute marvel. I was in awe of not only how frenetic the writing was, but how well it kept me engaged. I was excitedly reading each word, looking forward to whatever came immediately after. This then stays the energy through the entire rest of the comic.

Additionally, there’s a twist that comes that had me floored in the best way possible. For this reason, I’m now both excited and questioning where the seventh stone is and how this will end in next month’s finale. With how this entire run has been thus far, I just know it’s going to be killer. If you still aren’t reading this run, you need to be. You won’t regret it.

What’re They Feeding These Artists?

I’m going to start here by saying this with my whole chest… this is the type of artwork that needs to be put in museums. Whatever Peach Momoko fed herself and her fellow artists on this, she needs to keep giving them that. The near complete ignorance to the rules for half the issue just feels so chaotic and refreshing. Simultaneously, all of it works in harmony to rope you in and tie you down to keep you in these worlds.

The penciling and detailing from everyone is an utterly grand showcase of styles that somehow work together like the best soup you’ve ever tasted. Couple that with the insane color and shading skills of Morry Hollowell and you have yourself a whole feast.

Overall – 10/10

What can I say that I didn’t say already? The energy, the pacing, the artwork… everything is top notch. Peach Momoko and crew proved that they came to take the Marvel multiverse by force and that they refuse to be topped. This run is a comic lover’s dream and if you aren’t reading, you need to be.
