I just don't care about Harry Osborn. That's a pretty big problem when this trade is named after that character's new super heroic identity. For the length of the book, I didn't really care when Peter Parker got so worried about his old friend. I even chuckled a bit when Menace played her little games with her old fiancé. Norman Osborn is tremendously evil once again, and Joe Casey does a great job keeping Bullseye and Venom absolutely horrifying. Bullseye kills rats with his boogers! Some people might think that's too much, but man, I just think it's evil!
There is a good sequence where Spidey goes undercover as Venom with the Dark Avengers, but clearly Pete isn't thinking straight, there's no way he could pull that off with that many sensors around. (It does lead to a nice Daken/Spidey fight though). It's also weird seeing Spidey interacting with the FF so much. This is three trades in a row where the first family of Marvel helps the old web-slinger. It's almost like Stephen Wacker was planting seeds for future stories!
The art is decent, but the American Son design is pretty silly. That visor... yuck!
