In "Whispering Machines," Danger leads Emma Frost on a high-stakes mission aboard the Secret Avengers' quincarrier to rescue an electronic soul trapped in a digital realm.

Written by James Asmus and illustrated by David Yardin and Gabriel Hernández Walta, with inks by Norman Lee and Gabriel Hernández Walta, and colors by Rachelle Rosenberg, the issue blends psychological tension with sleek, tech-driven visuals. The cover by Arthur Adams captures the eerie, high-tech atmosphere perfectly.
