As for the content, another great show. I agree on Foolkiller's costume, especially the black highlights on his torso. I used to think that was part of the costume until I realized it's just supposed to be shadows. I'm surprised Forgotten One was so forgettable, and I loved your explanation for Forge's sorcery ("It's X-Men.") As for old Dom Fortune, I think his weird jacket (and facial expression) are Chaykin trademarks, as they seem to appear on pretty much every character he draws (Blackhawk, American Flagg, Cody Starbuck, etc.)
As for the rest of the episode, I had to go on a Google search to try to find anything out about Foolkiller's belt. From the picture in OHotMU, I figured it was supposed to be two guns pointed in opposite directions. But, then you look at other artist interpretations, and you get everything from a shellfish looking-thing, to what appears to be a genie's lamp!
And like Mike W. said, Dominic Fortune is very much a Chaykin character. I appreciate him as a creator, but I've never gotten into his art style, so I'd love to see Dominic re-interpreted by a different artist. I think Chaykin was going for an Errol Flynn look, but it's just a little off.
Oh, and on the subject of Fortune, Dominic...as someone who is and is the roommate of a person whose legal name is David, but goes by a different name, I completely understand. David is just way too common. Many of us have to go by a different name just to avoid confusion!
