    Only the noun can take this -s. As an adjective, comparable means able to be compared, or similar, and is usually followed by to; in that use it never changes form. So comparables always means things chosen for comparison. It behaves like any countable noun and sits easily after numbers and quantifiers: a few comparables, the closest comparables.
