I would recommend reversed().

reverse() implies you are changing a property of the comparator, in a
mutable style. reversed() implies that you are returning a new
comparator in an immutable style.

list.sort( comparing(Person::getLastName).reversed() );

See "past tense" in http://blog.joda.org/2011/08/common-java-method-names.html
