American comic book and TV writer and producer. Currently writing X-Men: Kingbreaker, X-Men: Worlds Apart, Ender's Game: Battle School, as well as parts of X-Men: Manifest Destiny. Also writing X-Force with writer Craig Kyle.
Chris Yost is probably most famous for working with Craig Kyle to create the character X-23 , a female clone of Wolverine who was originally created for the cartoon X-Men: Evolution.
Yost and Kyle then began writing the on-going title New X-Men. Together they are probably best known for killing off several current and ex-students of the Xavier Institute with a storyline where the depowered students were murdered in a bus explosion that had been planned by William Stryker and the Purifiers.
Yost has recently wrote the X-Men: Emperor Vulcan five issue mini-series on his own. Now that New X-Men has recently finished, Yost and Kyle began work together on the new X-Men wetworks team title, X-Force where he has resurrected many of the X-Men's deadliest villains and introduced some new monsters.
Cartoons
Yost has stated that cartoons were his first love, and he has worked on countless cartoons, including X-Men: Evolution, Fantastic Four: World Greatest Heroes and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
He will be working on the up-coming Iron Man series, and the up-coming Next Avengers. He has written the recent Wolverine and the X-Men animated series, as well as the two current Hulk Versus one-off specials.
