Get ready for more walkers!

Early Walking Dead season 4 promos

The Walking Dead season four will return this October. Entertainment Weekly has a special Walking Dead issue with three variant covers and a ton of gossip about the upcoming season. Among other things, the new showrunner is quoted as saying, “The new threat is something you can’t just stab in the face. You can’t talk sense to it. You can’t make a truce with it. It’s beyond all that. It would be a threat in any world, but in this world it is much more terrifying."

I've got $20 says it's "illness" and another $20 specifically on "cancer." Any other bets? Ante up!
