Can music be implemented to the comic reading experience?
Like reading an issue/portion of a comic at the rhythm of a song, or giving a comic its own soundtrack, do you think such a thing is feasible at all? If you think so, how would you go on about doing it?
For the sake of argument let's put webcomics out of the equation and focus exclusively on print comics.

I've tried but I'm easily distracted. I like finding as much calm as I can to immerse myself in the book's world. I end coming up with the rhythm of the world, imagining the beats and sounds anyway. But I bet something instrumental would work with me. Nothing lyrical or my immersion would be broken and I'm belting out.
So like a motion comic?

I guess, although I'm trying to imagine the lyrics being worked into a silent panel, and such.

This in whatever. Maybe sexy spy Dick.
What do you think of writers when they pair music to their comics? Snyder has a playlist on spotify for Metal, and Jeff Lemire has a page at the end of each Royal City issue with a playlist.

I liked how the first issue of SCUD included a playlist. Devo's Beautiful World was a perfect choice for the ending page.

That's off the top of my head.

This movie was better than Ant-Man.

I put on setlists corresponding to the genre. Goa Trance for psychedelic stuff. Retro-synth for cyberpunk. Mod R&B for capeshit. Witch House for horror. Yada Yada.
I like to put on something, preferably instrumental, when I'm reading. I can't say there are many specific things that I know pair especially well together, but it is very noticeable when the music doesn't fit the comic.
Magic Sword goes perfectly with Kirby Thor, and I'm so thankful to the Ragnarok trailer for introducing me to it.
I use The Eagles for any Westerns.
KISS for KISS.
I always have this in the background when I read the Superman: Beyond segments from Final Crisis.

I was literally just thinking about this, because I'm reading P. Craig Russel's Ring of the Nibelung adaptation, and though the speech bubbles aren't verbatim to the lines of the music (at least I'm assuming because I don't speak German), you can basically read along with the opera playing.
It's something I've never seen done before and I wonder if it'd be possible to do something like this with any other kind of story.
