Nine square thumbnails show Blaze's tattooed hand holding a lighter, Blaze sitting beside a smoky ghost as they both eat ice cream, Blaze with copious tears running down his face while he says "I'm not crying," Blaze pulling Alastor, a very smoky ghost, close as if about to kiss him, the cover panel of Blaze and Alastor sharing breath, Blaze drawing a sigil with firelight, Blaze holding cilantro and squirting a lime in Alastor's face, a smoky ghost pulling a wire around Blaze's neck to choke him, and Blaze beckoning confidently with his finger.

An illustration. Greenish moonlight is cast on a cracked and weathered wood panel wall. A "Live Laugh Love" wall sign hangs, covered in cobwebs. A dripping streak of blood is splashed across the word "Live," as if crossing it out. Below the sign, two hands are pinned to the wall by a pair of inky black, clawed hands.
