The Amazing Spider-Man #596
In "American Son Part 2," Peter Parker tries to steer Harry Osborn away from joining his father Norman’s empire, unaware that Harry’s girlfriend Lily is pregnant with his child. As Norman gives Harry a tour of Avengers Tower, Peter uncovers a twist: reporter Norah Winters has infiltrated Osborn’s inner circle under false pretenses. With a suit designed by Reed Richards and a mission to take down the Dark Avengers, Spider-Man steps into a new role—one that blurs the line between hero and vigilante. Written by Joe Kelly and illustrated by Paulo Siqueira, with inks by Amilton Santos, colors by Jeromy Cox, and letters by VC's Chris Eliopoulos, the issue’s striking cover by Phil Jimenez captures the tension of a world turning upside down.

Peter tries to talk Harry out of going to work for his dad but doesn't know that Harry's girlfriend Lily is pregnant with his child. Norman gives Harry the grand tour of Avengers Tower. Peter learns that Front Line reporter Norah Winters has gotten a job with Osborn as cover to write an expose, and Pete begins to get ideas of his own. When Norman's Spider-Man and Hawkeye go out for a night of trolling for prostitutes, Spider-Man attacks and captures his dark counterpart and, thanks to a black suit designed by Reed Richards, replaces Mac Gargan in the Dark Avengers.
