Well Brad Meltzer only wrote for 13 issues, so I'm going to take a shot in the dark, and say that's when it start's to taper off.
Also, Meltzer >>>>>>>> Garth Ennis
Ennis writes some really good stories in Preacher, and the boys, but he tries too hard to appeal to the mature audience.
One single disgusting, brutal moment, that has been properly built up to, has way more meaning and impact than a comic full of the stuff. Meltzer knows this, and it's why Identity Crisis and Tornado's path hit so hard. I've suspected Ennis was overrated for a while now, and this just confirms it.
