I wasn't doing ebooks back then, and I don't recall seeing it in their catalog (even as unavailable) when I picked up the C&C omnibus. Oddly, my ebook set is Book 1, Book 2, and Omnibus 2, but I don't recall exactly how that combination came to pass.

Important thing is, I can complete the set now.

Current read: Michael Bailey's Action Figures - Issue Four: Cruel Summer. The series is rather excellent "realistic teen supers" fiction, and the most recent plot point (concerning the death of a family member) was written well enough that it hit me unexpectedly hard. I was the same age as the affected character when I lost the same family member, and the rest of my family situation was close enough to theirs that the chapter resonates particularly closely. (I'm being vague to avoid spoilers.) Even the "you need to be the strong one" part and the cause of death were disturbingly similar...
