Chris Yost talks X-23

Chris Yost gave an interview about his carrier in the comic books and animation. X-23 is mentioned.

Nrama: You’re well-known for being party to introducing X-23, beginning with an episode of “X-Men: Evolution”.  How did the character come into being, and what did her reception mean to you as a writer?

Yost:  Craig Kyle, who was supervising X-Men Evolution at the time, created her before I entered the picture.  He needed a way to get more Wolverine interacting with the kids, and that was his solution.  Since adult Wolverine was already part of the show, he got another Wolverine, essentially.

I was just happy to be there. :)  When he told me that she was crossing over into the comic universe, and that we were writing her comic origin, I was floored.  It honestly changed pretty much everything for me.  I owe Craig Kyle and X-23 a ton.

Chris Yost video interview on X-23 plus a comiquette

Chris Yost gives a video interview about Laura Kinney, her creation and why she was originally created in the "X-Men: Evolution" animated series.
The characters in the "Evolution" series were all teenagers, except for Wolverine, who was an adult. The creators didn't want him just to become younger all of a sudden, so they decided to "do him again". Yost tells us about X-23's character and her differences with Wolverine, which are very important to him, because otherwise she would just be "Wolverine with woman parts". He also says that Laura is an important character of the whole Marvel Universe and "needs to be there and deserves to be there". It's very flattering to hear if you're a fan.

During the whole video this amazing, god-like comiquette of X is being shown. You can watch a little video teaser here. If you didn't already see it, you'll absolutely LOVE it. Too bad it costs a whole fucking lot. Also, there is an unpainted version, just for fun.
