While most of the talent assembled for Comic-Con International was looking to get out of San Diego, “Game of Thrones” creator spent several hours at the Interactive at Petco Park, courtesy of Courtyard Marriott’s Superhero HQ and a special cosplay event.
Before filming our exclusive interview with Martin, CraveOnline was invited to watch Martin oversee the coronation of the King and Queen of the Courtyard Marriott cosplay contest.
