Lucifer Era (2001-Present) Following the demise of The Dreaming, DC planned to begin a monthly series of mini-series and specials under the Sandman Presents umbrella. This new, more vigorous Sandman Presents line began with The Sandman Presents: Everything You've Always Wanted to Know About Dreams but Were Afraid to Ask, a humorous series of shorts and an homage to Woody Allen's film Everything You've Always Wanted to Know About Sex but Were Afraid to Ask. The following month saw The Little Endless Storybook by Jill Thompson (who had illustrated Gaiman's The Sandman #40, featuring the little Endless, and the storyline that followed, Brief Lives, and who had gone on to create the critically acclaimed, albeit low-selling, series of books entitled Scary Godmother). The four-issue mini-series The Sandman Presents: Dead Boy Detectives, written by Ed Brubaker (who had gotten disastrous reviews for Vertigo Visions: Prez but who had gone on to write much better comics, including Scene of the Crime and work on Batman), premiered the same month. During this mini-series, the United States was traumatized by the terrorist attacks of 11 September, and, following the three-issue mini-series The Sandman Presents: The Corinthian, DC's charity trade paperback for the attack's survivors (9-11 Volume 2) featured both a story featuring Lucien, the Dreaming's librarian, and a story by Neil Gaiman featuring both Death and Destruction. Sales of the Sandman Presents line were lackluster, so that line of mini-series and specials became irregular at this point, with monthly publication ceasing after the four-issue mini-series focusing on Thessaly, The Sandman Presents: The Thessaliad, in early 2002. This, and not the end of the monthly series The Dreaming, marked the end of a regular successor to The Sandman. By this time, Mike Carey's Lucifer regular series, then two years old, was coming into its own, at least artistically. Though the series sold quite poorly, at levels that would have signaled immediate cancellation just years before, trade paperbacks of the series sold well. This had become endemic to Vertigo, though it was particularly pronounced in the case of Lucifer. DC nonetheless supported the title with advertising. DC demonstrated its commitment to Mike Carey, though his work barely sold ten thousand copies, with a publicized exclusive contract and handing him the writer's position on Hellblazer.
