SpoilerTV has just uncovered The Walking Dead Season 6 promo art featuring Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) sporting a bandage over his right eye. Although the site did not offer any explanation on where they found the image, it appears to be taken from a Russian outlet. In addition to that, the photo has the FOX logo (in other countries, TWD is aired on the FOX Channel).
Carl's injury may be shocking to fans of the show, but it is nothing new to comic book readers. In the issue No Way Out, Carl's eye is accidentally shot by Douglas Monroe when Rick chops off Jessie's hand when she refuses to let go of Carl despite being attacked by walkers. Luckily, Denise Cloyd manages to save Carl but his eye is beyond repair.
But here's the interesting part: The events that led to Carl's injury are extremely similar to the last scene in the show's mid-season finale, where Rick, Carl, Jessie, Sam, Ron, Michonne and Gabriel try to escape the walker horde by covering themselves in zombie guts. In addition to that, the mid-season premiere episode is also titled No Way Out.
But how exactly will Carl get shot in the eye if Douglas Monroe does not exist in the TV show? There is a possibility that Ron (Austin Abrams) will shoot Carl after his mother and brother are attacked by walkers.
Find out what happens next when No Way Out, the mid-season premiere of The Walking Dead Season 6 airs on AMC on February 14.
