The Avengers #320

In "Underlying Currents (Part 2)," the Avengers face a rising threat as they join forces with Russia’s People's Protectorate to confront the sudden emergence of the Atalantean trio—Tyrak, Meranno, and Orka—whose oceanic origins remain shrouded in mystery. Written by Fabian Nicieza and brought to life by Paul Ryan’s dynamic art, with inks by Tom Palmer and colors by Renee Witterstaetter, this 1990 issue deepens the stakes of a global conflict sparked by ancient, submerged powers. The cover by Paul Ryan and Tom Palmer captures the tension of a world on edge.
