Do you mean article comments, blog comments, old forum comments, new forum comments or message wall comments?
 * Article/poll/blog/old-forum - yes, there's a way.
 * New forum and message wall... there's also a way, but it takes multiple steps. You have to first use the title number (pageid) to retrieve the long page name, then retrieve the list of subpages.

Here's the basic method to get article/poll/blog/old-forum comments: http://community.wikia.com/api.php?action=expandtemplates&text=

Here's how to find the long page name for your post: http://c.wikia.com/api.php?action=query&format=xml&pageids=673053

Then you look up the subpages: http://community.wikia.com/api.php?action=expandtemplates&text=

You should be able to adapt these methods to your needs.

There really aught to be an easier way that actually uses the API itself, but all comments are hacks, so it doesn't look like easy comment retrieval was implemented through the API
