It was so good, I am sad to have finished it.

Are there any canon DS9 comics, books, etc. that continue where it left off?

I've finished TOS and TNG, but neither left me with a feeling of sadness like DS9 has.

I finally suffered through the first 4 seasons of Babylon 5 this year. While there are good moments, the production values, writing, and acting are just not on a level with DS9. It felt like watching a big 3 network soap opera in space a lot of the time, with that same type of acting style. A couple of characters were great, but that's it. DS9 was just a better made show all around. Babylon 5 proves that you can have great ideas, but if the entire production situation doesn't come together in an equally high quality way, you aren't going to get an equally good result that will hold up over time the same way.
