Entertainment Weekly has revealed the cover of their latest issue featuring The Walking Dead’s most terrifying villain and his favorite weapon of choice. 

“What you’re going to see in the first half of this season is Negan wreaking havoc,” Morgan told EW. “And some of your characters that you’ve grown to love are not going to be on the show anymore, and it’s going to end badly for them. It’s going to be a whole new beginning for The Walking Dead. Really, we’ve taken the show and just flipped it upside down. It’s a different show now. It’s going to have a different feeling. You’re going to see your favorite characters in a position that they’ve never been in before, which is super vulnerable and victimized.”

‘The Walking Dead’ returns to AMC in October 2016.
