Origins, is planned to be one of the biggest Judge Dredd storylines to run in the pages of 2000 AD.
A story called "Connections" (prog 1500-1504), written by John Wagner and drawn by Kev Walker, which acts as the opening prelude to the main "Origins" story line, also written by Wagner and drawn by Dredd's other creator Carlos Ezquerra. This will run for 23 episodes and reveal more of Dredd's background but Wagner had nothing to say about the plot other than the fact that in Origins we will meet 'Joe's mutant relations'.
Plot
Connections
Strange things are coming in from the Cursed Earth and Dredd is having disturbing recurring dreams of Rico and Fargo. In these it is hinted that their may be something wrong with the bloodline of Fargo and that he may have gone a bit mad before he died. This may also be why Rico turned bad before his clone brother Joe killed him. Elsewhere muties have arrived in Mega-City One.
Out in the Cursed Earth, Dredd discovers the bodies of the men who should've been carrying cargo into the city but is given pictures of the muties that have arrived in the city. The muties meanwhile go on a tour of Mega City paying careful attention to The Grand Hall of Justice. At the hotel, Sven The Night Guy thinks they're up to something and steals a mysterious box which was hidden in a vent in the muties room. When they get back to their room and find the box missing they threaten the new Night Guy who doesn't know anything about it, but at the same moment Dredd already working on the case, walks in on them.
