Tyrese Gibson’s Mayhem (2009)

October 19, 2014 By Professor Elizabeth Coggeshall

MayhemTyrese Gibson’s 2009 comic follows a vigilante protagonist known as Mayhem, whose real name is Dante.

“Los Angeles, the City of Fallen Angels, is a city swept up by a brutal crime wave led by a kingpin known only as Big X. The body count builds as only one man can stop the flow of drugs and violence, only one man can stop Big X. He is the embodiment of vengeance and raw justice, the faceless arm of those who cannot defend themselves. He is known as Mayhem, and along with his sexy but deadly partner Malice, their goal is to dismantle the kingpin’s organization, unravel the dark secret that mysteriously links them to Big X, and save the city they grew up in.”    —Amazon
