I've had a few problems with that one myself.  It's a lot more dramatic when
you focus on someone the reader didn't expect to see, and the reader knows
who that someone is... :(

For an example of how it SHOULD be done take a look at early Elfquest; when
Wendy Pini started out one of the first things she did was make sure each
character had an individual face and general look as well as personality. 
It's not hard to tell them apart at all, and given the number of characters
she had in that story this is a Very Good Thing. :->

In response to those who've asked about my plans for The Amazing Spider-Man,
you can find the info in the next installment of my column at psycomic.com,
which goes up on Monday.
