Check out new comics and graphic novels arriving this week by Ryan North, Humberto Ramos, Matt Fraction, Mark Buckingham, Dan Jurgens, Bruno Redondo, Kevin Smith, David Marquez, Meredith McClaren and more.

Welcome to Can’t Wait for Wednesday, your guide to what comics and graphic novels are arriving this week.

I’ve pulled out some of the highlights for this week below, but for the complete list of everything you might find at your local comic shop and on digital this week, you’ll want to check out one or more of the following:
