Why does my new IP address map to comcast.net?

This seems very strange to me.  My internet went out sometime overnight, which is rare but not all that rare.  Before last night's disconnect, my IP address, when entered into a name server, mapped to a very normal pool-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.washdc.fios.verizon.net.  My new address, entered into a name server, comes back as c-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.hsd1.wa.comcast.net.  What gives??  Has my account been hijacked by Comcast?  Is there been some massive unannounced merger?  Should I be concerned about this?
