That is indeed the low point of Waltz run. It is also the point the plot was the most complicated, having just gone through a minor war between the US Government and an island populated by two alien races in conflict, with the looming threat of a Dragon god on the Horizon and demonic businesswoman pulling some strings. It would be understandable if it's difficult to entice casual readers during something like that. But keep in mind here, 90 issues in? If your readership manages to stay above 9000 for around 90 issues on an IDW book, that is a bit of an achievement.

And as I already pointed out here, Waltz didn't have a problem writing issues that could cause the readership to about 30.000, sometimes closer to 50.000. There doesn't seem to be anything about Sophie's run that has done so, it's never been more than barely 20.000 after almost 25 issues.

The basic difference between them is that Waltz can bring in new readers beyond the 10.000 hardcore readers and the additional 10.000 who read it semi-regularily, Sophie seems to struggle with appealing to anyone who wasn't reading the book before.
