For myself, I think Wilson's run is shaping up to be the best and hopefully the most influential—in a wholly positive way too!—run ever on Wonder Woman. She can bring the mythological knowledge and depth from Pérez, Rucka's understanding of her character, Simone's levity and encyclopedic knowledge about Wonder Woman's publishing history, together with some of the best writing skills not only in comics but in science fiction and in actual bloody mainstream literature.
Diana in her run might not solve every problem in the book by punching it, but she is unquestionable the chief agent of the story, in that she drives the larger narrative. Which is something that we haven't seen in her own title since the start of JMS's run, maybe even longer. (Note: Tynion also centers her in a similar way in JLD, so it's not totally unknown for the last decade.)
Try to look beyond the story you think you want and read the story you get, and try to understand the values that underpin it. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
