Winter - Masks are the theme here.

A hooded man in an Anonymous mask is seen unlocking his bicycle with two large bags of masks in tow.

The center post of the bike has the "all Xs" URL of HOPE X on it.  The URL is backwards, but it's rather hard to tell because of the beautiful symmetry of the letter X.

At the time, the mysterious (and anonymous) artist Banksy was releasing an art piece a day in New York City.

There are two relevant Banksy graffiti pieces on the wall behind our hooded man.

One reads "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?" and the other is a girl with a spade in front of a tall plant, but instead of a sunflower atop, there is a security camera looking at her.

This cover came out on the heels of the Million Mask March protests.
