3. I like "The Boys." However, Ennis is not as good a writer as Ellis.

Ennis takes his characters out of character whenever he feels like it in order to make a story head in a certain direction. Both "The Boys" and "Preacher" suffered from this.

When Ellis creates a character, the character stays true. Spider Jerusalem is always Spider Jerusalem. Also, Ellis has a better feel for politics and what makes the world tick.
