Seems like a fair share of the comics has a uri built up by date, some has a numeric value, but a lot of them has randomly generated or non-systematic uri's.
An alternative may be to add the regular expressions in a external file (e.g. xml) to make it easy to maintain and keep it updated. But one should then keep the directory structure of the plugin very simple to avoid a dead plugin killed by it own complexity.
Another problem is to figure out when the first release of the plugin was, when it releases (daily, weekly, non-specific?), which comics got released today? Handling of individual comics would add to much complexity..
