I thought most of Reborn was fine, but I hated the time travel stuff. I'm a fan of Lost as well, and it felt like Ed Brubaker had just ripped off the entire Desmond Hume plotline from Lost. They even use the same terms in the story referring to Sharon Carter as "the constant" and whatnot. Super-lame.
On the other hand, I don't feel that it was a ripoff of Batman's death so much.
