Книга: Craig Kyle, Christopher Yost, Christos Gage «Thor: The Dark World Prelude»

Craig Kyle is an American writer for Marvel Comics. He has also produced several of Marvel's Direct to DVD animated films and co-produced Thor.

Biography

Kyle and frequent collaborator Chris Yost are perhaps best known for the creation of mutant character X-23, teenage female clone of Wolverine. In 2003, Kyle and Yost co-wrote the episodes of X-Men: Evolution that introduced X-23 to the X-Men: Evolution universe. Marvel executives were impressed with X-23’s reception on TV, and subsequently asked Yost and Kyle to adapt the character into comics, first by writing the character into a six issue eponymous mini-series, and then by taking over writing chores (as of issue #20) on the New X-Men (formerly New X-Men: Academy X) title, bringing X-23 in as a regular character. The success of X-23's first miniseries (X-23: Innocence Lost) prompted Marvel to order a second six-issue miniseries with Kyle and Yost at the helm, titled X-23: Target X.

Kyle and Yost concluded their stint on the New X-Men title after the events of "X-Men: Messiah Complex" when the title turned into Young X-Men. Chris Yost and Kyle co-wrote the revamped X-Force with Clayton Crain on pencils; the cast featured Wolverine, Warpath, Wolfsbane, and X-23 as black ops agents on assassination missions per the orders of Cyclops. The series ended in 2010 and was replaced by Uncanny X-Force, written by Rick Remender.

Yost began his career in 2002 as an intern in Marvel Comics' west coast office. His spec film scripts got attention from Marvel executives who hired Yost to write episodes of the TV series X-Men: Evolution.

Marvel executives were impressed with X-23’s reception on TV, and asked Yost and Kyle to adapt the character into comics, first by writing a six-issue mini-series titled X-23: Innocence Lost, and then by taking over writing chores (as of issue #20) on the New X-Men title, bringing X-23 in as a regular character. Yost and Kyle also co-wrote a second X-23 six-issue miniseries, titled X-23: Target X.

Yost co-wrote X-Force with Craig Kyle after the New X-Men title ended at issue #46. Yost also wrote a five-issue mini-series titled Emperor Vulcan, a spin-off mini from the Uncanny X-Men story arc "The Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire", featuring the third Summers brother, Gabriel (alias Vulcan), in his quest to bring stability to the struggling Shi'ar Empire after his successful coup d'etat against previous empress Lilandra.^[1][2] He followed this up with the Kingbreaker mini-series,^[3] which sets the scene for the War of Kings storyline^[4] Yost also wrote Ender's Game: Battle School, the first in a series of adaptations of Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game by Marvel.^[5]
