Ron RoweSecret Invasion - Who Do You Trust?

Secret Invasion: Who Do You Trust? is on the stands now. The bigger question, I think, is what have we learned?
We learned a little more about the Skrull Captain Marvel's motivations for attacking the Thunderbolts. He knows he's a Skrull, but he wants to do right. (Kinda like 3 of the final 4 Cylons on Battlestar Galactica.) I'm not sure why trashing the Thunderbolts is first on his list, but at least he's trying to do something good before the Skrulls whoop up on the Earth.
I don't know a whole lot about Agent Brand. She's a hot, green-haired chick who's in charge of the Peak. We learned that the Skrull have been playing her for years and she's none too happy about it.
Maybe the biggest thing that we learned in this issue is that the Spaceship Beast thinks that he is the real Beast. We don't know if he IS the real Beast, but he definitely believes himself to be. It is unlikely, but I'm rooting for him. Classic Beast is much more entertaining than Cat-Beast. Spaceship Beast makes a compelling argument for why the current-continuity Beast could be a Skrull. He abruptly changed his appearance, he cut himself off from his best friend, his sunny disposition has soured. He's not the same old Hank McCoy that we know & love. Could the Morrison-ification of Beast be undone by Secret Invasion? Maybe they could make Cyclops cool again instead of the majjor-league jerk he's become lately.
We learned that Marvel Boy is going to be playing a bigger role in the Invasion. I'm not at all up on this character, or the Cube, which is a prison which he seems to have taken over. Can't say this story really piqued my interest all that much.
We learned that the Agents of Atlas can kick some serious Skrull butt. They are packing some serious power and James Woo, at least, shows the will to use it to the fullest.
Just a few more days until the next installment of Secret Invasion. Join me back here on Thursday for another update of Secret Invasion: What Have We Learned.
