Though filled with a bit too many twists without enough explanations, 'Helix' is a surprisingly entertaining show packed with some genuine thrills and frights. Hopefully, Season 2 will offer some more answers.

This is a well-crafted and assembled volume of the popular 'Saga' series and will make an amazing addition to your collection.

With the paucity of new releases this month, we thought we'd toss out a list of some of our favorite book series that may have flown under your radar over the years. Because what bibliophile doesn't love a nice, meaty saga you can really sink your chops into, especially with the days growing short and the weather getting colder?

'Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1' confidently delivers on its themes, even as it holds back its biggest, boldest statements for the next film.

'Revival' is as engaging a late-night tale as all of Stephen King's stories are but also continues to build upon his trend towards higher levels of complexity within the understory. It is a powerful, phantasmagorical meditation on the loss of faith and understanding.

'Interstellar' is that rare epic where the ideas and execution are so enthralling that we are eager to view its missteps as simply part of the journey.

If 'Star Wars Rebels' is any indication, Disney understands exactly what made the original trilogy so great. The Force is strong in this one.

'East of West' is a cross-genre epic, a dark and serious work for mature readers. Jonathan Hickman is a master of the art of the slow reveal, giving his readers just enough information to understand what’s going on and leaving them thirsting for more. Vol. 3 has the series building up to an explosive conclusion, and I can’t wait to see how it ends.

A post-apocalyptic world filled with dangerous alien or a world that should be filled with the joys of growing up but is instead filled with chemotherapy, needles and invasive medical procedures. Which one would you visit? Actress Julie Benz has visited both of these worlds.

Although not entirely novel or even logical, the world of 'The Maze Runner' maintains momentum through its slow bits and cliches.

Recently, I had a chance to sit down and chat with none other than Edward James Olmos – Admiral William Adama himself – about the style of leadership his character brought to Battlestar Galactica.

The new Katniss teaser poster for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 evokes The Dark Knight in its depiction of Jennifer Lawrence clad in a jet black outfit.

'The Woods' will enmesh you within its teenage characters' journey through an alien planet to solve a mystery, fight monsters, and deal with the troubles of being an adolescent trying to find her place in the world.

Herik Hanna & Sean Phillips' tale of sci-fi horror will fill you with tension as you follow the protagonist on his journey through a bloodied prison spaceship.

If you like noir, cop stories and smart sci-fi, this book combines them all into one fabulous package.
