Are there recent Marvel depictions (depiction prior to December 1st, 2018), that actually drew and not just mentioned in dialog, of Al Qaeda or ISIS as a villain in one of their comics? Books only, not interested in the movies.

Al-Qaeda
In Secret Avengers #1 (2013), S.H.I.E.L.D. works to bring down Andras Bertesy, a Hungarian arms dealer also versed into dark arts. The guy is reported to want to sell teleportation energy to Al-Qaeda cells, which would enable them to teleport into any building (say, the White House).
A deal takes place, with a "high-value American target" at stake. Skip some panels, a terrorist teleports into the Oval Office, only to be greeted by Nick Fury shooting at him. Now as the guy isn't formally introduced, I cannot 100% guarantee he is indeed Al-Qaeda, but given the above dialogue and his rather stereotypical look, he probably is.
ISIS
It's a tad bit "cheating" as the comic is a movie tie-in, but in Avengers: Infinity War Prelude #1 (2018), Sam, Steve and Natasha retrieve Chitauri-fueled weapons from terrorists; a truck bearing ISIS' flag (or something really close) is briefly shown.

According to the Marvel wiki, within the 616 universe, members of Al Qaeda have appeared in Amazing Spider-Man Volume 2, #36 and Secret Avengers Volume 2, #1. They appeared in the 1610 universe in Ultimate Comics: the Ultimates Vol 1, #22.

@KDog in the Ultimates case, they were a squad sent somewhere in the Afghanistan area to catch Osama Bin Laden. He wasn't here, though, and things went haywire when Wonder Man completely lost it. The soldiers themselves are referred to as being Taliban. Taliban and Al-Qaeda were different groups at first, but they went on to have enough connections for us to assume that the writers indeed meant Al-Qaeda (perhaps without naming it).
