My problem is that I also want to be able to get the last subitems of newspaper.comics. I want to be able to get the last item from each genre no matter what the higher up subitems are (book or newspaper).

To repeat, you want to match some genre names no matter where they appear in the hierarchy, beginning, middle, or end. For those that match, print the last item in the hierarchy, which might be the matched item. The following does that for comics and history.
Code:
{#genre:'subitems(list_re($, ',', '(\.|^)(comics|history)\.', ''), -1, 0)'||}
The change was to not anchor (in the regular expression sense) the match to the first item, which is what I thought you wanted. Instead, the new regexp matches 'comics' or 'history' between dots (an internal item), between the beginning and a dot (the first item), between a dot and the end (the last item), or between the beginning and the end (the only item).
The reason to add the || at the end is to keep the template parser from being confused by the | characters in the regular expression.
