The Amazing Spider-Man #597

In "American Son Part 3," Spider-Man’s secret identity hangs in the balance as he continues to pose as Mac Gargan within the Dark Avengers. With Norman Osborn unveiling his son Harry in a Captain America-inspired suit as the new American Son, Peter Parker must navigate escalating tension—especially when Daken begins to suspect the truth. The issue builds to a shocking confrontation that forces Harry to make a devastating choice, leaving Spider-Man exposed and the team on the edge of collapse. Written by Joe Kelly and illustrated by Marco Checchetto, with colors by Chris Chuckry and letters by VC's Joe Caramagna, the cover by Phil Jimenez and Andy Lanning captures the moment’s intensity.
