comments are highlighted

For some reason, all my comments are highlighted like so (regardless of language), see example below:

I'm currently using iTerm with the provided .itermcolors with and vim color.

This is happening because you have italics enabled, but some combination of your iTerm2 reported terminal type and terminfo database is causing italics to be displayed incorrectly.

Two solutions are:

1. (Hopefully) fix italics by doing the following:
   1. In iTerm2 preferences, on the "Terminal" tab, for the "Report Terminal Type:" setting, select "xtern-256color" if it's not already selected
   2. Create a file somewhere on disk with the following contents:

   xterm-256color|xterm with 256 colors and italic,
     sitm=\E[3m, ritm=\E[23m,
     use=xterm-256color,
   

   3. In a shell, run tic path/to/the/file/you/just/made
   4. Quit and restart iTerm2
   5. Vim should now display italics properly

or,

2. Disable italics by removing the g:onedark_terminal_italics setting for onedark.vim from your Vim configuration.

Disable italics by removing the g:onedark_terminal_italics setting for onedark.vim from your Vim configuration.

This did it. Much appreciated for the help.
