The post Black Panther think-piece tsunami was real.  So John Stevenson, the writer behind 'Confessions of a Global Dandy,' and I sorted through the deluge and compiled a list of  Black Panther articles, think-pieces, and salient posts to aid the post-viewing critique and analysis.  This list is currently being updated. 

Enjoy!
