There's a couple titles I read that do this, where the creative teams post music (either on their blogs or at the back of the book) that you can listen to as you read the comic, so it functions like the soundtrack of a television show or movie.
For example, Nathan Edmondson and Mitch Gerads, who do the current Punisher comic, posted a soundtrack for the first couple of issues on Spotify:

Matt Fraction and David Aja do a soundtrack for just about every issue that they put out for Hawkeye (aka Hawkguy). They put it in the back of the books, and on their blogs, as a YouTube playlist or a Spotify playlist:
Example:
Hawkeye 15 Soundtrack: https://play.spotify.com/user/greyr...e&utm_source=open.spotify.com&utm_medium=open

Actually, here's David Aja's list of Hawkeye soundtracks by the issue: http://www.youtube.com/user/yonecio
Anyways, do you think more creative teams and books should do this? Create a list of licensed music that moves along with the vibe of the book that they're creating? For Punisher and Hawkeye, I think it's pretty brilliant. These two are basically the best comic book shows never made. They read like TV shows with big budgets not on screen. It's a neat touch to give them a little unofficial soundtrack.
btw, these are all "unofficial" soundtracks. I feel I have to say that. Haha.
