In a recent Letter, Friedman and Landsberg discussed the underlying mechanism of explosive phase transitions on complex networks [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 255701 (2009)]. This Brief Report presents a modest, though more insightful extension of their arguments. We discuss the implications of their results on the cluster-size distribution and deduce that, under general conditions, the percolation transition will be explosive if the mean number of nodes per cluster diverges in the thermodynamic limit and prior to the transition threshold. In other words, if, upon increase of the network size n the amount of clusters in the network does not grow proportionally to n, the percolation transition is explosive. Simulations and analytical calculations on various models support our findings.
