Can having a comic pressed that has a very small color break make the color break worse. Let me know if additional information is needed.

Sure.  Improper pressing can also result in a blown (popped) staple, a split spine, and a host of other defects.  Naturally, all downside risks will be minimized when the book is evaluated and treated by an experienced and skilled professional.

If the color breaks are the only problem with the book, I'd probably skip having it pressed. While it might make the spine look slightly better, it's not going to help the grade since the ticks broke color. Now, if there are other issues on the book elsewhere, pressing can help, but the spine issues are gonna still be spine issues.
