Chris Ryall is practically synonymous with IDW Publishing, since serving as President, Publisher, and Chief Creative Officer of the company for 15 years. But he started out running the parody site MoviePoopShoot.com for Kevin Smith before joining IDW. Once there, he both oversaw and wrote many adaptations and licensed books, including Shaun of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Transformers, Beowulf, KISS, Mars Attacks, and Clive Barker's The Great and Secret Show. Chris also co-created a number of original books, including the highly successful Zombies vs. Robots, as well as Groom Lake, The Colonized, and The Hollows. In 2011, he brought together Transformers, Star Trek, Ghostbusters, and G.I. Joe for an intercompany crossover called Infestation. Now, he's reteamed with long-time collaborator Ashley Wood to start Syzygy Publishing, an imprint of Image Comics.
