Once again, The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus is appearing on the cover of Entertainment Weekly's print edition this week -- but this time, he's flying solo.

Weirdly, Reedus isn't one of the ones quoted in a short story over at the EW website where they announced the cover, which features comments from series creator Robert Kirkman, showrunner Scott Gimple and star Andrew Lincoln.

"That is going to be a fan-favorite episode in a lot of ways, and it's going to be a fan-hated episode in a lot of ways," Kirkman told the magazine. "Because it is somewhat brutal. But there's a lot of magic in that as well. It's going to be very unique."

You can check out the issue on the newsstands Friday.
