Being left hanging is mostly what bothered me. After 2+ years, ending the run on To Be Continued seems...hollow. And the explanation of what was going on in New Avengers seemed more info dump than grand reveal.
I am also hoping Hickman addresses action vs inaction. I have never been a fan of Namor, but when he split from the Illuminati, I felt like he was the only character who had conviction in what they were doing.
And while I'm hopeful for more closure in Secret Wars, I am worried about economy of space. (Big event, bigger explosion quota, fewer valuable panels for talking.)
Complaints aside, it was nice to have so much back and forth between Steve and Tony. The "You and I...we are finished!" line is rife for angsty contextual meddling. And I liked the diner scene. I love how Tony meeting up with (and even ordering for) Steve echoes back to the Civil War (imho) where he's confident he knows what's best and can talk Steve into his vision. Inversion or no, he is making the same mistakes all over again.
Also, Hickman totally pulled one over on me -- on that last panel with Tony asking Steve to wait. /angry fist. Curse you for making me believe, Hickman.
