I did! I would have liked for him to do some combat of some sort, rather than just running away and hiding. I don’t believe that he could have been raised in a military society and not be able to fight in any way at all. But that aside, I really enjoyed how clever he was - how quickly he sized up the situation and put himself in perfect control of it.
All I ask from a villain character is competence and a sense of humour and he has both.
(Well, competence, treating women with respect, and a sense of humour. I can’t enjoy a villain who is skeevy or violent towards women. That’s where Killmonger lost me.)
I enjoyed the way the flashback tied in to the end of the story - it made the whole thing feel very well rounded. It’s probably the first story where Hux manages to provide some wish-fulfillment (the people who hurt you will learn to regret it at the end) as opposed to having it driven home that he’s despicable and he will never win anything in any scenario ever, and that if you’re a Hux fan you’re mistaken and will never get any enjoyment out of it.
It was an art style that I enjoyed too - the boys both looked good.
I didn’t expect them to hint at any positive sides to his character or possibility of him being redeemed, so the lack of that didn’t upset me. But I did like the acknowledgement at the end that given his upbringing there was very little chance of him ever turning out differently. And I’m happy that the afterword hints heavily at my favourite option of Hux leading a coup attempt in IX.
