They’re back! ALL of them! Eric, Bill, Sookie, Alcide, Pam, Tara, Jason, Jessica, Lafayette and Sam have been honored with their own Entertainment Weekly Collectors Covers to mark the eagerly-anticipated return of True Blood this Sunday!

Even Christopher Meloni’s got one, and he’s only just joining the show as a regular this season, so you know he’ll be an important character to keep an eye on. The Hollywood Reporter revealed that he’s playing ‘the extremely powerful and ancient vampire Roman, the guardian of the governing body for all vampires, the Vampire Authority. He’s also the mastermind behind the mainstreaming movement, which aimed to integrate vampires into human society.’ What’s with the stake, though?

All will be revealed this Sunday, 9pm. We also assume that Tara’s cover means good news for Sookie’s loyal friend, who literally took a bullet for her…
