Before his work for Marvel, he had established himself working for Friendly Comics on the series Sex Trek; an adult themed Star Trek parody, and work for Defiant in the early 1990's.  Moving to Marvel, his work included (but not exclusive to) the stretch on X-Force, The Rise of Apocalypse, the occasional issue of Generation X and a variety of other contributions.

Having spent some time away from comics Pollina has returned with the nine-issue series Big Daddy Danger for DC.  A series that revolves around a masked wrestler who struggles as a sole parent who must protect his country, which apparently Disney have expressed a great interest in adapting.  His return to Marvel has resulted in the five-issue mini series Angel: Revelations set around the origin of the X-Man Angel who over comes the trials and tribulations of a cold family life, his growing physical mutation while living at boarding school, abuse of power from authority figures, and a religious zealot on a murdering crusade across America.
