Waiting in the wings

I've been wanting to read "The Avenger" for some time now.  With so many (so, so many) issues of The Shadow waiting I've just put it off.  So, when I finish what I'm reading now I'm going to finally see if the wait was worth it.  I hope it's better than Doc Savage, of which I've already documented my feelings on those stories.  Still love the character just not the writing.  Fingers crossed for this...
