Heads up! Sideshow presents the Fastball Special! HD Aluminum Metal Print by artist Paolo Rivera.


When it comes to superhero tag-teams, nothing can beat this mutant maneuver! The Fastball Special! HD Aluminum Metal Print captures all the intensity and excitement of this iconic battle tactic, as first seen in the pages of X-Men comics. Standing in the wreckage of a Sentinel battle, Colossus hurls Wolverine headfirst into whatever unfortunate foe tries to take on these mutant heroes next. This dynamic illustration is bursting with action, as Wolverine practically tears his way out of the image and into the fray.

About the Artist:

Paolo Rivera started working for Marvel Comics in 2002. Although he began his career painting in oil, he has since moved on to penciling, inking, and coloring (with some occasional sculpting). He was born and raised in Daytona Beach, FL, and graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2003, where he studied under David Mazzucchelli. He broke into the comics industry thanks to writer Jim Krueger, whom he met at Megacon in Orlando, FL while still in high school. Rivera's best-known painted work is Mythos, a series of six richly-painted origin stories written by Paul Jenkins. Originally published as one-shots, it was collected into a hardcover edition in 2008. He now limits his painted work to covers including The Twelve, The Iliad, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Wolverine, among many others. Most recently, he penciled 6 issues of Mark Waid’s Daredevil run. His father, Joe Rivera, inked the issues, for which they received 2 Eisners. You can see more of Rivera’s art and take an in-depth look at his creative process here.
