Zenescope Entertainment has expanded its brand to include merchandise such as collectibles, board games, and digital content. There have also been attempts to adapt its properties into television series and films.

Reception

Despite this, the company has cultivated a loyal fanbase and continues to be a prominent name in the comic book industry.
