Neil Gaiman brings up the epilogue in his comic book The Miracle

Finally Neil Gaiman will go see him miracle man The run was completed after decades of waiting — and then another six years since it was announced. According to Gaiman, the scripts have already been in place for a while, but another round of legal trouble has delayed them, and now it looks like Marvel has everything worked out and the series is ready to finally move forward and wrap up after 29 years of waiting and nearly several lawsuits.

Years later, the pair finally settled the lawsuit, and Gaiman eventually handed those rights over to Marvel now, too.

Well, but you don’t own anything. It turns out that Eclipse didn’t actually have anything. We had to dig deeper into who actually Miracleman was. It turns out that the original creator, Mickangelo, had retained the rights to People claimed it was bought. There’s an entire book you can buy on Miracleman’s mysteries.
