At least to some extent. The aforementioned Medieval Spawn probably would have been explored even more, but there was a legal dispute that meant he couldn't be used for about a decade. Same reason Angela is now a Marvel character.

Apparently McFarlane created a knock-off Medieval Spawn to get around the court case, but he got sued for that too.
