So far all I know about X-Force: Sex & Violence is what I read in the funny papers...
Craig Kyle: What Wolverine and Domino can’t have sex with, they will kill. It’s that simple.
A painted three-issue mini-series starring Wolverine and Domino that comes out in late 2009 from writers Craig Kyle and Chris Yost, and artist Gabriele Dell'Otto. It is a team-up between Wolverine and Domino, after she shows up at the X-Compound, badly beaten and looking for help. She tells Wolverine that she's being hunted by the Assassin's Guild, and he vows to help her. However, she isn't telling Wolverine everything -- so look for a twist, said editor Barber.
YOST: It's Wolverine and Domino in a team-up. It's not an X-Force mission per se, it's something personal. Domino has a hit put out on her and Wolverine and Domino go out to get that hit taken off of her. It's almost like a road movie with these two. They've had a past–I wouldn't call it a relationship, but they know each other. They're up against the worst killers on the planet.
Yost: Domino has always been one of the X-Force characters and has a history with the team. We brought her into the series to kind of lighten up the mood. You have all of these dark, angsty characters going through this horrible thing. Meanwhile you have Domino going "Psh! You guys are crazy!" So she lightens up the moment. Now, Grant Morrison did a story a while back that put them in almost kind of a… sex buddy light, but the bottom line is they have a history together, and that history includes sex. Like Craig mentioned, it's something we've wanted to touch on in the main series, but we've got a lot going on there. This is a place where we can focus on the two of them and really expand their relationship.
Kyle: Wolverine and her have a great chemistry and we've really only seen bits and pieces of it. I think there's also a lot of respect [between them], the fact that they're equals in the same game. They're kind of fighting each other and the threats they'll face on many levels – sexual chemistry, mentally, physical combat. There are so many levels they'll be engaging each other and their enemies that it creates a lot of tension and a lot of places to have some breath between. We think they're a pretty fantastic couple to spend some time with. I think people reacted really well to the cover that Mike Choi and Sonia Oback did for a previous, and this is just expanding on that kind of an idea and opening it up to some really intense moments.
I like Logan and Domino together. She's one of a small handfull of dangerous women ( in particular Elektra and Mystique - but you can't trust Raven) who would understand (and survive, even thrive) in the violent world Wolverine lives in. I don't think either of them is in this for a lasting monogamous relationship, but the timing (relative to the X-Force/Cable crossover in "Messiah War") also raises the possibility of additional future conflict between Logan and Nathan over Domino.

Okay, ya' want the truth? There never was any "Silver Fox." It was Mystique. Both times. Happy now?
It does look interesting. Does anyone think Wolverine and Domino would make a better and interesting couple?
Also rumors from the interview of Steve Blum and Chris Yost something about Season 2 of Wolverine and the X-men. That the possibilities of Domino and Wolverine as a couple in the animated series.
Domino out of all the brotherhood she was the most level-headed member and talking to Rogue without force.
TZ: Chris, I freak out every month when I read X-Force, and I'm very excited about this Wolverine/Domino story. Can you talk about that at all?
CY: Yeah. It’s a three issue limited series called X-Force: Sex and Violence --
SB: Nice.
CY: -- And it delivers on that promise. So, Domino is originally a mercenary and she's got some stuff in her life that kind of comes back to bite her. And Wolverine gets pulled into it, and its kind of like the two of them kind of like bickering and fighting for like three issues.
TZ: Anything else besides bickering and fighting?
CY: . . . A little bit. Issue 1 is violence. Issue 2 is sex. And then Issue 3 is a magic combination of the two. In all seriousness, those two characters have a history together you know in that they've gotten physical before in more ways than one and in the normal X-Force book, you know we've got a lot of big stories and we don't have a lot of time for the character work, you know? But in Sex and Violence, it’s just those two characters for the most part, we really get to see their relationship.
TZ: I'm really excited because I think that's a great relationship to look at. And I think Wolverine and Domino getting together is awesome. And why not see it in the animated series as well because Domino is also in the show? We can see Steven having something with Domino.
SB: I'm available *laughs*.
CY: You never know. In animation, usually our motto is, "There's no time for love, Dr. Jones," but I think fans love to see that stuff so you never know.
