Leinil Francis Yu (born July 1977) is a Filipino comic book artist, who began working for the American market through Wildstorm Productions.
Yu was first hired by Whilce Portacio to do some work for Wildstorm. That work fell through, but Portacio passed on samples of Yu's work to Marvel Comics, who subsequently hired him to work on Wolverine.
After his popular 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 work is characterized by a unique linear style, emphasizing detail and embellishment. It should also be noted that Yu was first recognized after winning the Wizard's Drawing Board Contest, his first published work.
He is the ongoing artist on Marvel's New Avengers series, although his run is ending with #37 so he can begin Secret Invasion.
