This is a good collection but I wish the title was more specific. What I thought I would be getting was essays about the impact of black panther in general but instead they are essays primarily about these people’s personal experiences with black panther. 

It wasn’t bad but not really knowing much about most of the contributors it felt like reading a little memoir of a person I’ve never heard of and am not really interested in. 

There was some interesting insights into the film like the costume designer discussing the real life inspirations for all the designs, or the brief history of afrofuturism and some film connections to real life events.
