The cover is a two page spread set in Clockwork’s lair, the Long Now.
The colour palette is predominantly navy blue, teal, and green with limited yellow accents. The Long Now has a cobblestone floor with the stones radiating out from a central dais on the right side of the page that supports Clockwork’s main viewing portal. In the bottom left corner, half of a large gear protrudes through the floor. A swarm of semi-transparent, light green blob ghosts traverse in a gentle curve across the bottom of the left page. On the right page they are hidden behind clockwork but a few can be seen near the dais’ base.
In front of the viewing portal, Clockwork is reclined in an old-fashioned armchair with his back to the audience, his spectral tail lazily draped across the floor. Holding a TV remote in his outstretched right hand, he looks over his shoulder with a serene, or perhaps even mischievous, grin. His main viewing portal displays the zine title, “Reality Trip”. “A Danny Phantom Zine” appears on the back of his armchair.
Visible beyond Clockwork, and behind his viewer, is a wall of dark gears that vary in size. Behind the gears, small patches of green are visible evoking the ghost zone beyond. The gears take up a majority of the two page spread, arranged roughly in three rows. They are framed by dark blue, crumbling stone columns at the far left edge, slightly left of center, and the far right. The center of each gear displays a different Danny Phantom AU. The AU’s are as follows:
Top row, left to right:
Portal Danny.
A stream of ghosts pour out of Danny’s chest and mouth. His head is thrown back with solid green eyes.
Blue Danny/Phantom starts to look like Dan.
Facing right, the top half of Danny’s face is obscured by white, flaming hair. His skin is “blue”, (it is technically teal), he has pointed ears and fangs.
Astronaut AU.
An astronaut suit posing in front of an American Flag.
Mermaid/merman AU.
A dark, scaly mer tail twisted over itself with a light fin at the end.
Inverse Trio.
Tucker is the halfa, Danny is the goth, and Sam is the nerd. The trio is huddled together throwing up peace signs posing for a photo.
Middle row, left to right:
Lab Rat/Dissection Bad End AU.
Angst Central. An upward view of Maddie and Jack with tools in hand, seen from the perspective of someone on their dissection table.
Wings AU.
That phenomenon of people putting wings on characters represented by a disembodied pair of black and white wings floating in a lime green void.
Full Ghost.
Danny died all the way in the portal accident. His transparent ghost tail is half phased into a patch of freshly dug dirt in front of a headstone, implied to belong to Daniel Fenton. A lone bouquet is laid on his grave.
Ghost King.
Danny in full royal regalia with the crown of fire hovering over his head and the ring of rage on his hand. The ghost zone and a few floating door behind him. He looks to the side warily mid-action.
Hazmat AU.
Danny died wearing a big, chunky, OSHA approved, real hazmat suit. He is only visible from chest up with his eyes glowing inside the hood.
Bottom row, left to right:
Ghost Hunger.
Two blob ghosts peek out of a BLT sandwich (Blob, Lettuce, Tomato).
Corpse AU.
Sam, Tucker, and Danny huddled together over a freshly dug pile of dirt in the woods. Danny has a shovel and Sam has a messily rolled up tarp.
Clockwork’s Apprentice/CW Danny.
Danny, facing left, wearing Clockwork’s cloak with the hood up, holding a staff similar to Clockwork’s with a stopwatch at the end. This gear is positioned directly behind, and partially obscured by, Clockwork’s head.
Cowboy/Western AU.
A blob ghost in a tiny cowboy hat sits on Danny’s white cowboy boots. A green lasso rope partially visible at the top right.
