From a library perspective, it would only work in a large central or branch library (and not so much if the adult and teen books are on different floors), and even then... it would work really well for booklists and displays, though.
One of my favourite inexplicable quirks of bizarre cataloguing is how the UofA libraries have (or used to, at any rate) Batman: The Dark Knight Returns in the law library.
I'm hoping HarperCollins' attempts will be similiar to the Babysitters' Club graphic novel from Scholastic, which is a surprisingly good adaptation. Other than the general coolness of having graphic novels, they are awesome for reluctant readers who are way below grade level, and ESL students. And one of my two schools is 1/6 ESL.
