Baba Yaga's Assistant by Marika McCoola

4.0

I love that Baba Yaga has all of her teeth in this--she's as ambiguous as I remember her being in old stories, and her audition process for her new assistant is hugely enjoyable. (I especially love Mina's technique for appealing to the house on chicken legs.) The beginning is mostly there to get us to the middle of the graphic novel, but it serves its purpose. McCoola's art captures movement and mood, and the story as a whole is very satisfying.
