My tomato plants have gone weird lately. Some leaves have small brown spots, while some entire branches seem to be withering and dying.
Is there a viral, fungal, or bacterial pathogen at work?
An insect pest? (We've had leaf-footed bugs, Leptoglossus phyllopus, on these plants recently, if that helps. No tomato hornworm sightings, though.)
A nutrient imbalance or deficiency? (My garden soil is probably ridiculously fertile with a pH of around 7 (a little high for most veggies) according to a professional soil test.)
Or could it be environmental? (We've had a VERY wet summer here, and not as hot as most years.)
Thanks for your help!

Looks like Alternaria or tomato early blight to me. Can spray with chorothalonil. on a 7 day interval for three weeks.
Bummer... I was afraid of something like that. Thanks, drobarr!
