The covers are always fine, but every other page looks like the one I attached, all shrunk into one corner. Please tell me there's a relatively easy solution for this. It's driving me insane.
Looking at that, the first thing to do is open the epubs and look at the images. What you show makes me think that the comic page images are low resolution. The epub probably has code to size the image to fill the ereader/app window, but, the conversion to MOBI is losing this. Converting to KF8/azw3, as @DNSB suggested, might fix this.

You could try KCC (Kindle Comic Converter). It is optimised for creating formats for different devices, but, I don't know if it will take epub as input.
