[edit] Synopsis
Both series are set in the year 2012 in a fascistic (mainland) Europe, which is at war with the USA and England. In the first series, the titular character, Corporal "Bloody Mary" Malone, a former nun and current commando, is sent to Europe to retrieve a doomsday weapon now in the hands of her former commander.
The second series, Bloody Mary: Lady Liberty deals with a religious maniac who has taken over New York City and is slaughtering thousands of innocent people. As part of her 'price' for this second mission, Mary demands the Statue of Liberty be rebuilt.
