In "Global Presence," the Avengers split across the globe to confront three escalating threats: the mysterious Presence in Russia, Attuma along the Canadian coast, and the Deviants in China. As the team faces these crises, the Presence unleashes a terrifying power, turning Captain America, Quicksilver, and the Black Knight into his obedient, mindless agents. Written by Kurt Busiek and brought to life with dynamic art by Alan Davis—inked by Mark Farmer and colored by Tom Smith—this issue delivers a tense, high-stakes showcase of the Avengers' resilience, with a cover by Davis and Farmer that captures the epic scale of the conflict.
