A modern comic-book / cel-shaded backglass dominated by a giant yellow-orange setting sun against a purple and magenta sky streaked with dark smoke. On the left a colossal grinning male warrior in a horned helmet, red cloak and dark lamellar armour looms over the scene, one hand raised holding a flaming orange fireball and the other fist thrust forward; his cloak dissolves into smaller figures at his feet. Small red-and-black ninjas run rightwards across the middle ground towards a bearded man in blue and purple monk-like robes and a square black hat, sword in hand, met by a dark-skinned woman in white, red and pale-blue hanfu robes leaping with a black ponytail flying, palm outfiring a golden coiled dragon. The bottom third is a dark indigo-blue pagoda roofscape in silhouette with arrow shafts in the tiles. The title sits at lower right in fat orange-to-red gradient cartoon lettering with a white and black drop shadow, and vertical Chinese text columns run down the right edge in red and yellow.
