In 2018, Vertigo launched The Sandman Universe sub-imprint with an eponymous one-shot consisting of several segments produced by various creators from a story by Gaiman:

  • "The Dreaming" is written by Simon Spurrier and drawn by Bilquis Evely.
  • "Books of Magic" is written by Kat Howard and drawn by Tom Fowler.
  • "House of Whispers" is written by Nalo Hopkinson and drawn by Dominike Stanton.
  • "Lucifer" is written by Dan Watters and drawn by Max Fiumara and Sebastián Fiumara.

The one-shot was followed by four ongoing series produced mostly by the creative teams behind the short stories:

  • The Dreaming vol. 2 #1–20 (written by Simon Spurrier, drawn by Bilquis Evely, Abigail Larson (#7–8), Dani (#13) and Matías Bergara (#14) and Marguerite Sauvage (#16 and 18), 2018–2020)
  • House of Whispers #1–22 (written by Nalo Hopkinson with issues #5–20 co-written by Hopkinson and Dan Watters, drawn by Dominike Stanton and Matthew Dow Smith (#13–14), 2018–2020)
    • The series was canceled, and the last two issues ended up being released only in digital format.[7]
    • Issues #21–22 were published in print as part of the House of Whispers: Watching the Watchers collection.[8]
  • Lucifer vol. 3 #1–18 (written by Dan Watters, drawn by Max Fiumara (#1–8, 10, 12, 16, 18), Sebastián Fiumara (#1–8, 11, 13, 17), Kelley Jones (#9), Leomacs (#10–11) and Fernando Blanco (#14–15), 2018–2020)
    • The series has been solicited through issue #21[9][10][11] but these remaining issues ended up being cancelled, in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[12]
    • Stories intended for publication in later issues were eventually released in the Lucifer: The Wild Hunt (#13–19) and Lucifer: The Devil at Heart (#20–24) collected editions.[13]
  • Books of Magic #1–23 (written by Kat Howard (#1–18) and David Barnett (#19–23), drawn by Tom Fowler, Brian Churilla (#7–12) and Craig Taillefer (#12–16, 18–23), 2018–2020)
