IMO, nobody involved in Secret Invasion is trustworthy

Namely, the writers/editors, though that's already a moot point. The promo scans for Secret Invasion keep a-comin, including one that might be of a Skrull disguised as Doctor Doom. I'm really not interested in the umpteenth crossover being produced in so short a time, but all the pictures together have had me wondering if any protagonists with their own series will turn out to be Skrulls, which would mean that any story developments they might've had in their own series will turn out to be for nothing?
I wonder that because of how a lot of things at Marvel, for better or for worse, seem to have been "written off" in the past few years, or, nothing seems to stick, or, it's being done so half-heartedly without trying to establish any firm direction for any of the individuals. J. Michael Straczynski's having almost his entire run on Spider-Man written off can serve as one example of this strange "trend". Or maybe even Ms. Marvel, assuming that Carol Danvers turns out to be a Skrull, which would render all that's taken place in the recent solo book pointless. It might not happen, but something tells me it wouldn't be surprising if such a thing did.
And if it does happen, then that would mean...all that scriptwriting for nothing.
