He is also the writer of Green Arrow, the Superman/Thundercats Special, the 12-issue suggested-for-mature-readers maxi-series Caper, and the Vertigo mini-series Blood and Water.

Raney, whose past work includes StormWatch and Thor, has extended his for two years. "This past year has been great," Raney said. "I'm working with a fantastic group of people on Outsiders, and everyone at DC has been very supportive. Judd, Scott Hanna and Gina Going have been a thrill to work with!. I couldn't ask for a better team! On the editorial side, everyone from Eddie Berganza and Lysa Hawkins all the way up to Dan DiDio and beyond have been great! They've all shown a huge amount of faith in us and our book.I couldn't be more pleased. How could I leave?" "Outsiders is one of the surprise hits of this year," said Dan Didio, DC's VP-editorial. "The fact that the writer and artist on the series have re-upped with DC ensures its continued success."
