display_comic() should exclusively use filters to determine how to display incoming file types, and allow for extension based on said filters, rather than hardcoding the behaviors for specific formats within the function itself.

Metadata for media files (width, height, etc.) can be handled one of three ways. None of these are mutually exclusive, and some are already implemented.

Include parsers for filetypes. This potentially adds additional dependencies on the codebase depending on filetype.
Pull the metadata from filenames (ex: my-movie-320x240.flv).
Pull metadata from post information. This will need to be smart enough to match metadata to the correct file, and flexible & accessible enough so that similar components can be used for different media types (ex: flv and swf both need size information, but swf can also accept additional information such as background color, opacity, etc.)
