They're going to SE the original comics now? This is as bad as colorizing old movies.

 They kind of hinted at this back in November when they revealed the cover for one of their omnibus volumes that used the original line art from a cover but recolored it:

And I thought the Dark Horse reprints in the 90's had bad coloring.

To be fair, Dark Horse made up for that in the early 2000's when they came out with the A Long Time Ago... anthology reprints. They went to great lengths to try and recreate the comics original coloring. It wasn't absolutely perfect but it was very faithful.

I don't think I'll care for Marvel's new modernized recolorings but at least Dark Horse's compilations are still available for purchase.
