Boo hoo Tony Stark, you're still a jerk!
It became clear who Tony was "talking" to just shortly into his "confession." But I don't care what his motivations were. I don't trust the guy. I don't care if he had some futuristic vision and knew it was going to come down to all this. He just seems shadey and slimey. Look at how happy he is running S.H.I.E.L.D. So maybe he isn't the complete cold-hearted b@$t@rd he's seemed like. I know there are those that agree with what he's doing. He's just upholding the law (that he's helped manipulate into going through). I hope he is sad. Steve was his friend. And as he said, it wasn't worth it. Good. Live with that guilt, jerkwad!
The second part confused me at first. I don't know why they ran them in that order. For a bit I thought, "Okay, Cap IS still alive and they're telling us already?" I take it that story took place between Civil War #7 and Cap #25. That makes sense. I didn't really like the second story. Both Steve and Tony seemed a little out of character. Weird since both stories were written by Bendis. You'd think it would've been more...consistent.
For Tony's inner thoughts and "confession," I guess it was worth reading.
