Are you able to show the comment counts as well?
1 comments

In theory, yes. However the comment counts aren't part of the item's JSON, which only includes top-level comments. So I'd need to retrieve all the top-level comments, and then all of the children comments for every comment. Doable, yes, but I'd need to take a while to think about how to do it efficiently.
