Description
I thought Manix art was cute when I first saw it. I enjoyed the humor and creativity he brought to every piece. I'm not a big commission guy, so I never thought of grabbing something from him until I saw some of his art at my buddy Mikail's house. The colors were spectacular, so had to have one!

Fast forward a couple of months, and Next Comic Art was opening Manix commissions. I figured go big or go home, and working with Jiggy; we settled on this piece. It's exceeded my expectations and will be a treasured addition to my collection!

Huge 33" x 11.5"

OMG, that's $%@# AWESOME! Maybe the best one yet! The only question is, how did he have time for this while slaving away creating commissions exclusively for Lance and Marcus??? Might this have actually been done by a Manix imposter?!?

The Manix Maniax fan club now has a chapter in Oklahoma!  When you decide to get a first commission, you come on strong.  Does that method work when... you know, with what the slido Q&A is always asking about?

Thanks Lance!  Your commissions have been amazing, too.  As far as "feels", your "Up" piece takes the cake!

You better seal it in plastic quick and get more made. In 30 years, these will be worth 5's of dollars.

Wow!! Manix's absolutely nailed this not only with his signature bright colors, but he really makes those characters feel like his own. The detail that went into Magneto is just sets the whole thing off. Outstanding commission!

Manix is insane, and you're insane to ask for this, which means this is more than insane! Congrats!

Wow, what a way to join the Manix fan club...  Though I just realized it doesn't have the signature frayed edges, so instead of 2 decoder rings, you now only get one.  Congrats anyways!

It does. I just cropped to the edge.  So, two rings it is!

This is epic James. I was thinking of some classic covers that Manix could take on for a future commission -- this was certainly high on the list. You okay if I just right-click and save to my gallery? Congrats.

Oh, my stars and garters.  Not the first of Manix's pieces in my 'Favorites' gallery (nor, I'd wager, will it be the last), but a SOOOPER special piece that should keep you warm in its loving embrace for years and years to come.  Spectacular.  BRILLIANT choice for a Manix commission, James!  Wicked cool!

Jason Hussa Member Since 2017

Dang, man... Still the Manix piece that I didn't realize I was -desperate- to see, before seeing it.  Just absolutely perfect in so many ways.  Manix's Colossus is -so- metal... 🤘LOVE THIS!!
