No different than the 90s when you had a lot of licensed characters at Topps, Dark Horse, Acclaim/Valiant and all the other smaller publishers.  It's really no surprise since superheroes, with a few exceptions like Invincible, are dominated by DC/Marvel.  Most smaller publishers are relying on nostalgia or mainstream appeal by licensing characters from other media.
