Happy Terrill dumping everything on his wife at the conclusion of "The Ray" is a real tearjerker.
This really needs to be seen, and I can't post them just now, so if anyone has scans available feel free to post them..
I will say, Ray Terrill himself was forbidden from revealing who he was to his own mother by Happy. Whom he visited frequently.
It was a shit-show either way. If it wasn't Morrison or Johns, Superman was abysmal for a good chunk of the New 52. And it only got worse.
Even now, he's still recovering as a character. JL has not been great (I don't know what the hell happened to Brian Hitch, he used to be far better than this), and the Superman book... The less said about that the better.
