It would give them a good reason to go into a library. My local library changed my life hugely for the better. It was a 1950's or 60's prefab, bungalow sized. On the outside, at least - it was much bigger on the inside.
Graphic Novels, comics in general, suffer from being transposed onto the web. I expect that to change, but not right away (I subscribe to the Marvel site, and it's good for trawling through back issues and trying new stuff, but mostly I buy collections these days).
So yes, there's probably other ways to attract youngsters to words, but that's the one that worked for me.
