Biography
Yu was first recognized after winning the Wizard's Drawing Board Contest, his first published work. He was first hired by Whilce Portacio to do some work for Wildstorm, but that work fell through. Portacio then passed on samples of Yu's work to Marvel Comics, who subsequently hired him to work on Wolverine.
After his run on the Wolverine series, he moved on to work on Marvel's core X-Men title in 2000, which was being written by Chris Claremont at the time. Yu continued to work on other Marvel titles such as Fantastic Four, Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk and New Avengers. He also co-created High Roads with writer Scott Lobdell at Cliffhanger, and Superman: Birthright with Mark Waid and Silent Dragon with Andy Diggle at DC Comics.
His run on Marvel's New Avengers series ended with #37 so he could begin working on the acclaimed Secret Invasion. New Avengers writer Brian Michael Bendis has, however, expressed interest in numerous Wizard Magazine interviews that he intends to keep Yu as an artist on the series.[citation needed] Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada has announced that Yu would be completing his work on the long-delayed Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk series after finishing Secret Invasion. Next, he will be working on Ultimate Avengers with writer Mark Millar where he will draw the second storyline.
Music
In 1999, Yu formed an indie band named Marty McFly. They released a full-length self-titled album that featured the songs "Make-Up", "Donita" and "Do It Again", which airplayed over NU-107.
