Biskamp and Schwarz [Phys. Plasmas, 8, 3282 (2001)] have reported that theenergy spectrum of two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence isproportional to $k^{-3/2}$, which is a prediction of Iroshnikov-Kraichnanphenomenology. In this comment we report some earlier results whichconclusively show that for two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence,Kolmogorov-like phenomenology (spectral index 5/3) is better model thanIroshnikov-Kraichnan phenomenology; these results are based on energy fluxanalysis.Comment: 2 pages, Revtex, 1 figure (Phys. Plasmas, v9, p1484, 2002
