Hey, I've been working on this comic and its due Wednesday for a final. I need some help reaaally quick with the colors. If some of you guys could help me out by doing a paint over so I can study it that would be very helpful. Thanks!

First question is "What do you feel is wrong with it?"
I'll tell you what I like- your shift in coloring from the top two tiers to the bottom one is well done. There's a definite difference between Dark Room and Outdoors.
One crit: the colors are all within a very tight tonal range. As a result, it's very gray. I think there would be some higher contrast between the lit areas and everything else. Example: fourth panel, the man's jacket is only a shade or two darker than the front. It should be darker.
Crit #2- Throw in some highlights. Especially on the car. The car is pretty dull right now, and it looks like it's made out of clay, not metal. I have a feeling you want to keep it subdued and misty, so I wouldn't overdo it. Just a little bit.
