Zenescope Cosplay Subscription

What's in the box: Exclusive comic book editions not sold elsewhere, along with occasional bonus items and early access to limited releases.

Zenescope Entertainment is a Pennsylvania comic publisher known for dark fantasy and horror titles such as Grimm Fairy Tales, Robyn Hood and Van Helsing. If you want a cosplay box, know this first: its subscriptions are built around comics, not costumes. Zenescope says its monthly subscriptions guarantee access to exclusive editions you can't buy anywhere else, plus bonus items and first access to rare releases. The site doesn't mention costume pieces, props, wigs or makeup, so look elsewhere if you want something to wear. Cosplayers may still like Zenescope as source material. Its characters have strong, recognizable looks, and fans who dress as them may enjoy collecting the variant covers that feature them. The store also sells showcase editions, CGC-graded books, metal prints, art prints and trading cards. It also runs a VIP program where members earn points on purchases, with no renewal fees and points that never expire. The main pages don't give prices, monthly box contents or shipping terms, so read the subscription pages carefully before you sign up. Zenescope's cover art often uses mature, pin-up style imagery, which suits some collectors and not others. Overall, it's a solid choice for existing fans of the publisher but a poor match if you expect a real cosplay kit.
