With no clear sense of which direction to take his career in, he got into advertising in the Detroit area, producing TV commercials. He later interned, in 2002, 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''. In 2003, Yost and Kyle co-wrote the episodes that introduced mutant character X-23, female clone of the popular X-Men character Wolverine. 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'' as well as ''X-Force''. 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.〔(Chris Yost: Bringing Ender Wiggin to Comics ), Newsarama, October 6, 2008〕 In 2012 Yost moved to work on Marvel's Spider-Man family of comics, revitalizing the character Kaine from the 1990s storyline, the Clone Saga, in the ongoing series ''Scarlet Spider''.
