TMNT x Male Venom Reader

In New York City, news reporter April O'Neil investigates a crime wave by a group of criminals called the Foot Clan. At a dock at night, she sees the Foot raiding cargo containers. After an unseen vigilante attacks the thieves, April notices a symbol left behind. April's supervisor Bernadette Thompson and her coworkers are oblivious to her story. Later, while covering a charity event thrown by Sacks Industries, April expresses gratitude to the company's CEO Eric Sacks, who was her late father's lab partner.

Frustrated by the vigilante, the Clan's leader Shredder has the Foot Soldiers take hostages at a subway station in order to draw him out. April, at the scene, becomes a hostage herself. Five mysterious figures arrive, take out the Clan, and free the hostages. April follows them to a rooftop and realizes that the vigilantes are anthropomorphic mutant turtles and a human with an alien Symbiote, causing her to pass out in shock. When she regains consciousness, they advise her not to tell anyone of their existence.
