* Leah Moore's ''The Trial of Sherlock Holmes'' has horrendously garish colours over line artwork that is clearly noirish and evocative. The result is a resounding mess.

* ''[[Elf Quest]]''—twice. The colourised [[Marvel Comics]] reprints were patchy at best, and the new computer-coloured versions are incredibly garish and obscure a lot of the original black and white linework.

* Edwin Biukovic is known for having great detail and just all in all being very good at rendering faces and crowds. But compare [http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/7361/blz14u.jpg this page]{{Broken link}} from the comics version of ''[[The Thrawn Trilogy|The Last Command]]'' to [http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/9779/blz20dy0.jpg this page]{{Broken link}} from ''[[X Wing Series|The Phantom Affair]]''. The latter's not terrible, but it's more heavyhanded, and faces are often weirdly dark.

* Quite a bit of ''[[Dark Empire]]'' is drawn in a rather unusual, stylized way. However, the colorist made some very odd choices, most notably deciding to tint nearly every page in some specific color and being overwhelmingly dark. Sure, a comic where Luke goes to the Dark Side might be expected to have dark colors, but there should be enough light to make things stand out.

* The vast majority of the ''[[Disney Mouse and Duck Comics]]'', at least in the United States. Characters will change the color of their shirts between panels, entire characters will be rendered in one color, gradients are used like they're going out of style, and very little background art is colored with detail. This is especially prevalent in [[Don Rosa]] comics, where the intricately detailed artwork is half the appeal.
