TMNT MAN! Between that and snake eyes/storm shadow, every kid in then80s was primed for ninjas lol. I’m not even talking about all the ninja movies and tv shows geared towards adults…

And the Turtles were created as a joke in direct response to the popularity of ninjas in comics at the time.

Got the Karameikos one as well. Picked them up for half price back in 90s. Thought I got a great deal in reality they were dumping unwanted stock on young Zard.

No regrets.

As I recall they took a lot of inspiration from/satirized Frank Miller's stuff in Daredevil. Down to the evil ninja clan in TMNT being The Foot (in Daredevil it was The Hand).

Oh, yeah. They even tied the origin of the turtles in with Daredevil. Unofficially of course.

Third party, but Adventures in Rokugan might scratch the OA itch. I can't speak to how well it threads the needle of Asian fantasy themes and modern sensibilities, though.
