I don't know about interesting or rewarding, but the most active and visible segments of fandom definitely skew towards visual media (including comics, as well as movies and TV). I think it helps that people who might not bother to pick up an SF&F book because they think those are only for nerds might still watch SF&F on TV because it's right in front of them, or go to SF&F movies because they often look like fun action movies. There's also the fact that it's easier to cosplay characters from a visual medium (people do design original costumes to cosplay book characters, which is neat, but they usually have to do a lot of explaining).

It was a little funny watching people who had been running SF&F cons for years who had always kind of looked down on things that weren't books, including Star Wars and Star Trek, suddenly get steamrolled over by hordes of new fans who want to talk about everything else.
