I just bought and read the HC with issues 1-5 in it. Is there any other part of it. Anything that takes place before the 5 issues?

Yep. The Marvel Zombies first turned up in Ultimate Fantastic Four #21-23, which has been collected in the Ultimate Fantastic Four vol. 5: Crossover TPB. They also appear in Ultimate Fantastic Four vol. 6: Frightful.

There's also two other projects planned. A one shot that will show the events that created the Marvel Zombies called Marvel Zombies: Dead Days, and a miniseries crossover that takes place before the first Ultimate Fantastic Four arc involving none other than Ash from The Army of Darkness comic.

Sooo.. the final chronology should go something like this:

Marvel Zombies: Dead Days
Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness
Ultimate Fantastic Four vol. 5: Crossover
Marvel Zombies TPB
Ultimate Fantastic Four vol. 6: Frightful

Dead Days and the AOD crossover should be out around March of '07. Here's the newsarama article about it in case you missed it.

I didn't like the series that much. Nearly all the issues were repetitive...Zombies face threat, zombies eat and kill threat, zombies bitch at each other, bigger threat arrives, zombies eat and kill bigger threat...and so forth...rinse, wash and repeat. It wasn't scary (heck, if you had the zombies from Night of the Living dead dress up in spandex the fear factor would drop considerably), it wasn't funny, the characters weren't interesting...it was just bleh.

and you expected it to be scary? Nothing is scary any more unless you are a child and even then its probably not. My friend's 3 year old daughter loves the original dawn of the dead.

I don't know...I expected it to be SOMETHING. Scary, funny, shocking, gross...whatever. I didn't feel anything. There were some cool moments but not nearly enough to be the best thing since sliced bread that everyone else is saying it is.

Walkind Dead is better but it only really was good for the first twelve issues. Its painfully obvious that Kirkman is terrible at dialogue; took me right out of it.
