Severe overuse of magic circles. Why not be more sparing about when these are drawn? They don't have to be used around every little itty-bitty minor use of magic --that's just annoying and well.. kinda makes the artwork embarrassing to look at.
Also, aliens that seem too dumb to own spacecraft. They just grunt and roar and crawl around like zombies with laserbeams and have seemingly no plan or motive whatsoever. There needs to be more "OH mY god tHey talk!". My favorite is when they are portrayed as having gentlemanly eloquent speech because I find that more intimidating in a villain.
