Anyone familiar with hip hop’s Murs knows he loves comic books. He raps about ‘em, he chats about ‘em, and he freestyles about ‘em (just check his Freestyle 101). Now he gets a chance to review ‘em as he fills in for his favorite host, the great Blair Butler, on Fresh Ink Online as she darts down to San Diego for Comic-Con. In fact, by the time you read this, Murs will have joined her at the famed comic book convention, but not before chatting about some of his favorite comics, including X-Factor, Queen and Country, DMZ, Black Lightning, Scott Pilgrim, Wolverine: Old Man Logan, Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova and Red Robin.
Plus, make sure to listen carefully for Murs’ controversial stand on one of the top writers in comics today. Is there a rap-comic beef a-brewin’? Will caps get peeled? Likely not, but it sure is fun to imagine such a thing, ain’t it?
Yes, you’ll soon see this crazy-haired rapper knows his stuff and you can quiz him on his comic book knowledge on this summer’s Rock The Bells tour, where he’ll be serving as an MC…and likely serving some MCs with his deadly rhyme skills.

This was an awesome Fresh Ink. I love Blair of course, but Murs was hilarious...and he knows his comics. Bravo dude. Please host more shows!

That freestyle was sick'nin.

Great guest show host. Blair is more thorough but he definitely shared our passion. I also enjoy his music and it was nice to see that comics are an artform which transcends culture and perhaps lifestyle as well. I never thought musical people were the least bit interested in the David Boring-ish lifestyle of a recluse- hobby such as comic book reading... He seemed to have a firm analysis for how each comic treated him. I'm going to check out Red Robin and Queen & Country.

american comics aren't nearly as good as anime. example, bleach, one piece dbz (dragon balls z). if you don't believe me, watch it online.

As a native New Yorker, I can really say that his words really resonated with me. The joking about Canada and Marvel/DC rivalry humor. Good stuff, cool guest host.

Didn't know Murs is a comic reader. Very good picks and cool stuff.

Nova and GoTG are freakin' sweet! People should definitely be picking these up! Thanks for the plug!

Just saw him 2 weeks ago at the Rock the Bells in Maryland and was glad he was there. He is one of my favorite hip hop artist and avid Nike Dunk lover, like myself. If you like good hip hop then please check him out.

Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. So I will respect... who was it... Murs(?)'s opinions on most things but I'm going to have to be grateful that most guest hosts never show up on here again. Fresh Ink pretty much a throw away episode this week with... nothing particularly interesting being said. Felt... kinda insulting to the ol' brain pan.
