subject: Party City Unleashes Mayhem Costume In California [print this page] Party City, America's largest party supplies retailer, has started selling the new MAYHEM character costume created by Tyrese Gibson, the two-time Grammy nominated and multi-platinum selling R&B singer and actor. The MAYHEM costume is available exclusively at PartCity.com and in California Party City stores.
MAYHEM is the faceless comic book vigilante who takes to the streets of Los Angeles, where a brutal crime wave has reduced the city to a condition of perpetual fear. Supported by his partner Malice and fueled by a spirit of revenge, MAYHEM strikes back at the criminals and restores order.
"With the entertainment world at large currently bowing at the feet of comics and its ideas, it's incredibly exciting to have a media mastermind like Tyrese Gibson turning his attention our way," says Image Comics CEO and WALKING DEAD writer Robert Kirkman. "MAYHEM is a unique, engaging comic-book experience that could only come from the mind of someone who's risen to the top of so many different fields -- anxious to take another by storm."
Introduced in San Diego during Comic Con in Late July 2010, the initial run of MAYHEM costumes sold fast. Fans of all ages clamored to meet Tyrese Gibson as he walked the convention floor with several costumed MAYHEM characters. Gibson later appeared for an in-store signing at the Party City in Chula Vista, CA.
Party City stocked its California stores with the MAYHEM costume just in time for Halloween 2010, and expects demand for the costume to exceed stock on hand. Boy's MAYHEM costumes are priced at $19.99 and Adult MAYHEM costumes are only $29.99. For more information, please visit Party City's YouTube MAYHEM video or Boys Superhero Costumes page.
