The upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly will include a new look at season 3 of The Walking Dead. Four collectible covers will be published and feature this season’s big players.

Pictured clockwise are Rick, Michonne, Daryl and Merle, and The Governor.

Describing the upcoming season, comic and series creator Robert Kirkman said to EW, “This season really is about setting up these two worlds and watching them come to a head and collide. And you know that there are going to be some pretty explosive encounters between Rick and the Governor. This season is going to be about getting to know these two characters, and then waiting for their eventual confrontation that could destroy everything.”

Yesterday we learned about an entirely new character joining The Walking Dead realm who will be a right-hand man to The Governor.

The show’s third season kicks off October 14 on AMC.
