Fandoms collide: Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin spoke to Torchwood star John Barrowman at Comic-Con, and the video interview is online now!

The interview was done at Comic-Con and released a few weeks ago, but Martin thought it was noteworthy enough to write about recently on his blog to share it with his fans.

In the video, Martin talks about his first Comic-Con and his favourite comics, and they discuss being fans while being unable to walk around the convention without being mobbed. They also go over some of the things we’ve heard before, like how Martin was originally inspired by turtles and why Tyrion is his favourite character.

On season 3, Martin won’t give anything away but does warn book fans that there are changes coming: “I kill a lot of characters, [the showrunners] kill even more.” Well, that’s just terrifying, right guys?!

The interview was done with G4.
