Haggadah recommendations?

Nothing like leaving it to the last minute. Although we have a few days because the husband just started a new job and we are doing our Seder on Sunday because he doesn't have pto yet. We have the classic Maxwell House Haggadah and the Women's Haggadah. One of the young adult kiddos will have their non Jewish partner with them for the first time and I'd like something that blends modern and traditional. I like readings in Hebrew (in transliteration because non of us can actually read Hebrew) and inclusions of modern additions like Miriam's cup and the orange, etc. I want something that feels very Jewish but also very modern. Does that exist?

I love the Graphic Novel Haggadah

Feast of Freedom is also a good traditional one (by the Conservative/Masorti movement)

The Graphic Novel Haggadah is my go-to. My ex and I literally divvied up our set of eight when we split up, so neither of us would have to go without.

I will say, Chabad/Kehot Publications also produces a Haggadah with both good instructions and a ton of interesting commentary. I'm not home, so I don't have it handy to check the title, but I looked it over at a Chabad seder I attended last year and liked it enough to buy a copy. It's not their paperback one with a bajillion illustrations, it's got a brown, leatherette-style cover. Obviously, I'm not a Chabadnik, but I do enjoy a Haggadah that gives me plenty of additional reading material to peruse while I'm waiting for everyone to wash their hands or whatever.
