April sees the launch of a new Marvel Zombies mini-series, Marvel Zombies Resurrection, not to be confused with Marvel Zombies Resurrection, the one-shot that came out last year. Try to follow along here. But that's not the only Marvel Zombies comic hitting stores in April. Yes, the upcoming super-mega-crossover event Empyre with a Y may be getting all the attention, but Marvel Zombies can get some love too. There's a line of Marvel Zombies variant covers running throughout several unconnected books in April. And also, Marvel is also celebrating Marvel Zombies with an issue of Marvel Tales.

Marvel Tales: The Original Marvel Zombies #1 will reprint the story by Mark Millar and Greg Land from Ultimate Fantastic Four #21-23 as well as Marvel Zombies #1 (2005) by Robert Kirkman and Sean Phillips. That's right, once upon a time, Scottish streaming mogul Mark Millar and Kentucky TV baron Robert Kirkman were lowly Marvel Comics writers, churning out work-for-hire like a couple of chumps. And now we can relive those glorious days for the low price of eight bucks!

Check out the solicit below, and Marvel's full April solicitations here.
