* AudienceAlienatingPremise: It was a follow-up to ''ComicBook/HeroesInCrisis'' written by a writer known for a history of sexual harassment and disliked work who enjoys nepotism and an artist whose work is highly contested at best and whose work on ''The Flash'' in particular is highly criticised. Notably, according to sales figures put out by Diamond, since ''DC Rebirth'', any book staring Wally West has sold extremely well, roughly around 50K+ units[[note]]''ComicBook/TitansRebirth'' for instance sold such high numbers during the first few arcs featuring Wally, before he left the book and the sales dropped; ''ComicBook/TheFlashRebirth'' would get a sales bump to those numbers for its first annual, ''Perfect Storm'' and ''Flash War'' storylines, each one featuring Wally prominently, if not putting more focus on him than Barry, only to drop when he left the book for HIC; [[/note]]. ''Flash Forward'' barely cracked 20K, with many people explicitly citing Scott Lobdell's involvement as a deal breaker.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The series as a whole was intended as one to undo the damage done to Wally West as a character by ''ComicBook/HeroesInCrisis''. By the end of the series, Wally is firmly on the path to being a hero again, and [[spoiler:his history with Linda Park is restored, with their children Irey and Jai are returned home]].

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: The first issue got hit with this to a degree, as much of it focuses on Wally recapping his actions during ''Heroes in Crisis'' and being suicidal.
