You’re the second person to call it an ambiguous ending, and I’ll admit, I didn’t think it was ambiguous. Underplayed, perhaps, but it’s the kind of story that wouldn’t work as well if we made a big statement about Michael’s choices. But I think they’re clear, if you read the story carefully. -- Kurt Busiek

I'm also not sure about Michael meeting the Hanged Man again. The original meeting was so powerful because it was so fleeting and yet profound, very human and very INhuman at the same time. Another meeting where the Hanged Man practically infodumps seems a little less impressive.
Still, I'm going to miss this series a whole lot and look forward to the graphic novels as and when we get them.
