"Niles continues to spin a darkly amusing tale and does an excellent job of fleshing out the character’s history while setting the stage for an explosive upcoming climax. Zid continues to put his talents to good use, creating beautiful spreads and aerial views of this technologically advanced world. The two page spread of the council conference room, filled will several glowing screens floating and/or mounted around the area, creates a futuristic and multi-dimensional feel to the book."

"It lives up to a very well tuned instrument to bring us what will surely be one hell of an ending to yet another great run for Steve Niles."

After the last page cliffhanger that this issue leaves you with, I’m onboard for next month. How Niles will tie this story together and what effects it will have on the sterile world Khrome lives in, is enough to entice anyone to keep going that has read this far.

"CITY OF DUST: A PHILIP KHROME STORY #4 packs in Werewolves, Vampires, and Frankenstein then combines all of this beautiful fantasy into one tight, set in the future, SiFi drama. Do I dig this book? Yes I do! Steve Niles and Brandon Chng have consistently raised the bar in this series and issue number four is no exception."

"This is the second of five planned issues of City of Dust, so it will be interesting to see where the author take the story in the three remaining issues. The first two have created a recognizable future world (albeit with a strong horror element which is the cause of those maimed bodies) and raise some interesting philosophical issues, and have also left sufficient ambiguity that the story could be developed in several different directions."

"Niles has crafted an excellent story here. The story reads like a cyberpunk noir with bits of horror, action and gore mixed in. There is great character development and Niles does a good job of establishing the universe this story takes place in. Reading this story one has to wonder how a society with no imagination will combat creatures that were birthed from imagination?"

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/comics/41

"With its horror meets sci-fi concept, plus some great thought provoking themes this series could easily have become a mish-mash of ideas, achieving none well. Niles rises above that. With a deft hand, he is able to take just the right amount of ingredients from each genre to form an eclectic, yet electric adventure story. With Khrome finally awakening to the breaking chaos around him, and others like Ajax, discovering that perhaps they’re not as smart as they thought, you just know a mad battle is on the way, with the fate of the city at stake. I can’t wait. "

"So far Niles has done a great job transitioning between issues and hooking me for next months trip to the comic shop."

"This is the best series by Radical Comics so far and will be the first one that I will want to pick up in a collected edition. Steve Niles continues to change things up and just when I thought it was one story it is even more complex. This issue we find out Khrome’s boss is a robot, whose job it is to watch out for him. Why is Khrome so important and what the heck is going on is still to be revealed."

http://comicsand.blogspot.com/2008/12/best-to-worst-of-last-week_30.html

"New revelations, more questions raised than answered, and of course a good bloodbath keep the action flowing and the heart pumping in issue #3 of City of Dust, which is proving itself to be one of the more universally entertaining books available."

Hear the latest podcast from Desmond where he reviews issue #3 of City of Dust: A Philip Khrome Story

 http://www.earth-2.net/podcasts/dreadmedia/episodes/dreadmedia_069.mp3

"In true Steve Niles style, City of Dust: A Philip Khrome Story #3 begins with a decapitated human head. If the fantastical writing of Steve Niles doesn’t grab you, maybe the blood thirsty Werewolves will, or how about the ten foot tall humanoid robot. Did I mention this comic is straight up awesome?"

"There are very few series I look forward to each month. This is one of the fortunate to make the cut. Along with Geoff Johns’ Action Comics, Paul Dini’s Detective Comics and select titles from Jeph Loeb and Brian Michael Bendis, I know with City of Dust I’m guaranteed a good read."

Jerome Maida wrote an nice review of the first issue of City of Dust: A Philip Khrome story. It offers a nice breakdown of the what goes on and what to expect.

"With writing by Steve Niles(30 Days of Night) and art by Zid, I think Radical publishing really has something on their hands. Issue 1 and 2 are already out, with issue 3 coming out early next month. So if you felt Blade Runner or Minority Report needed more monsters and gore, this comic was made for you."

 http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/comics/14

"The book has a good pace and a great premise. Radical must be on the edge of a multimedia sale with this one, because the concept just screams for a movie adaptation. Here we go again with Steve Niles - but this time, you should jump on board before the hype gets out of control. It's absolutely worth it."

 http://www.fanboyplanet.com/comics/mc-cityofdust2.php

"Issue #2 eased my hunger for City of Dust temporarily but I know as the days pass I’ll be ready for more Philip Khrome and his dangerous city. Bring on issue #3."

 http://www.comicsbulletin.com/reviews/122663496460022.htm

"I think everyone owes it to themselves to set aside the mainstream offerings from the big two and explore those issues and titles coming from the smaller publishers. Radical Comics has delivered a fascinating story in the pages of City of Dust. Niles writing builds the reader up to each major revelations in a way that engages instead of disappoints. City of Dust #2 is an excellent second installment of the five issue mini-series. If you like futuristic noir horror, City of Dust is an excellent read."

 http://www.majorspoilers.com/archives/8074.htm/

"Radical Publishing have done it again. The company’s Freedom Formula had me drooling over the pages and now we have a new contender. City of Dust by Steve Niles, the writer most known for his horror work (30 Days of Night) shows that he can cross genre boundaries with ease."

 http://comicbookjesus.wordpress.com/2008/11/10/city-of-dust-2-review/

"The art in this book continues to drop jaws. Zid has a real talent of conveying shock, horror, exasperation and suspicion in the faces of the character, and the darker creatures of the night do not disappoint in the slightest. The reader isn’t spared any details (especially in the final panels) of how some of these people meet their ends. One brutal death reminded me strongly of Oddjob from the Bond film “Goldfinger,” thus bringing a smile and a grimace to my face at the same time. And only one word is needed to describe the variant wraparound cover: Damn. "

 Recently found this review. Great site for any horror fans out there."So, CITY OF DUST gets my recommendation. Not much of a surprise, since it is written by Steve Niles. If you want to catch the "I heart Steve Niles" bug that has infected most of us horror comic fans, go over to SteveNiles.com. Currently, he is running a few contests to tie in with the month of Halloween. It is definitely worth it, if you would like to score a few signed comics or win a 30 DAYS OF NIGHT figurine"http://www.bloodygoodhorror.com/bgh/features/10/10/2008/comics-creepshow-10-city-of-dust

"This being a Steve (30 Days of Night) Niles series, City of Dust proves to be a pulpishly grisly affair. The abovementioned snobbish couple quickly get rend into separate limbs for their tour of the lower cityscape, while the holder of that children's book is discovered sans his head. It's all somehow connected to a shadowy figure we see talking to the "father of modern society" Henry Ajax, and though we don't yet know what this figure looks like, we're fairly certain Here There Be Monsters."

" It sounds fun and Niles is good at delivering the big scare (30 Days Of Night) so I'm interested."

"I think that we are going to see some really interesting stuff from it. It is most assuredly for mature readers, and if you have checked out any of the other Radical Books (Hercules, Caliber, or Freedom Formula) then this book should most assuredly be on your radar, and if this is going to be your first exposure to Radical then allow me to assure you that you are going to be getting an incredibly good quality product for your money, just based on production value alone!"

 Randy Lander's blog gives a quick mention about City of Dust: A Philip Khrome Story

 City Of Dust #1 (Interesting looking futuristic story from Radical and Steve Niles)"

"This is a very interesting, exciting and beautifully-rendered book from horror-meister Steve Niles and artist Zid"

http://www.popsyndicate.com/site/story/the_shadow_gallery_for_the_week_of_10_04_08/

 "City of Dust: A Philip Khrome Story is another strong entry to the Radical Comics stable. It's a look at a fun genre, and it presents it well. I'm looking forward to seeing how the promises of this first book are paid off in the series. 

 "This, the third title to come from the multi-media publisher known as Radical Comics, is another impressive debut in both story and art."

 http://www.aintitcool.com/node/38659#3

 First and foremost let me just say this book is great. It drips with coolness. This book combines a future setting, film noir, a Frankenstein story line, a fascist government and Fahrenheit 451, stirs gently and produces a book that you should buy, take home and read and enjoy a great story.

Overall Grade A

 "First and foremost let me just say this book is great."

 "Radical Comics has proven that they will deliver a quality product. From selecting strong premises, to finding artists that just deliver superb rendering to the actual production value of the book. You can almost just order any new series from Radical knowing that it will be professionally done and a superior product." Grade A

 "If you like Steve Niles, or if you just like a well done suspense and horror story, City of Dust #1 is an amazing start to what looks to be an amazing book."

 http://comicsnexus.com/2008/09/29/review-city-of-dust-1/

 "Wow, wow….another hit out of the ball park. A story that is dark, compelling, and not just another anime style shoot em up, but a story of humanity. This story hooks you in from page one, and just keeps pulling you in deeper. A mixture of graphic horror, sci-fi, and pretty much everything else under the sun. On top of an amazing story, beautiful character designs, dialogue, and plenty of twists to keep you watching for the rest of this series. There is also gorgeous, dark artwork that just makes this amazing story an amazing comic. What else can I say about this…..get it, read it!"http://www.projectfanboy.com/vb/showthread.php?p=4539

"The boundless creative potential and the jaw-dropping art found within this book are enough to hook a reader for the entirety of the five issue run, especially if Niles does some more with Khrome and if Zid keeps drawing such a colorful world."

http://reviews.comicswaitingroom.com/2008/09/26/city-of-dust-1.aspx

 "Steve Niles is a strong enough writer to make this tale more than a knock-off . His horror leanings are hinted at, with multiple, violent deaths and a mysterious pair of bad guys. Well, I think they’re bad guys. Not much is given away. Just enough to entice readers into this world and start salivating for the next issue"
