Marvel Comics
Black Panther Required Reading
(In my humble opinion, of course)
That's the rough order I'd read them in. If you need more, AvX Avengers vs. X-Men fits in between Doomwar and New Avengers, but it's not really required reading - New Avengers covers everything you really need to know with regards to Black Panther and the events of AvX.
If you truly love Panther and want more classic stories, check out Don McGregor's stuff from the 70's and 80's, if you can find it. It's extremely dated, but his representation of T'Challa and Wakanda are still respected.
Hope this helps!
I believe I posted on that as well. I recommended this large Hardcover linked below. Handles about the middle of the Avengers and New Avengers run until the end. Combine that with volume 1 of New Avengers to get the initial storyline and explanation of the excursions and you're in really good shape for Secret Wars lead up as far as Avengers books go. You could skip this book if you get the Secret Wars prelude book, as that includes I think the first 2 or 3 issues of New Avengers.
Optional add-on is the Hardcover for Infinity. I never found a book for just infinity 1-6. But the hardcover includes Avengers 14-23, so do not buy Avengers vol 2, or you'll have bought those issues twice. I made that mistake, had the Avengers book, then got Infinity which includes all the same issues. Sold it for half value used. Infinity is a good story, I wouldn't say it's absolutely essential for Secret Wars lead up though.

Edit: here's the Infinity book. Looks like it comes in paperback now, I'd recommend the hardcover though because it's a larger book. Again note that this includes the vol. 2 hardcover issues of Avengers and New Avengers. They're staggered through the book in order with the main Infinity 1-6

Secret Wars Prelude I mentioned above which includes New Avengers 1-3.

The easiest way to acquire the run would be the two omnibi:
Avengers by Jonathan Hickman Omnibus Vol. 1 (Avengers (2012) 1-23, New Avengers (2013) 1-12, Infinity 1-6, +more)
Avengers by Jonathan Hickman Omnibus Vol. 2 (Avengers (2012) 24-44, New Avengers (2013) 13-33
The next best format would probably be the oversized hardcovers:
Avengers Vol. 1 [Avengers (2012) 1-11]
Avengers Vol. 2 [Avengers (2012) 14-23]
New Avengers Vol. 1 [New Avengers (2013) 1-12]
Infinity [Infinity 1-6, Avengers 14-23, New Avengers 7-12, Infinity: Against the Tide 1-2]
Avengers Vol. 3 [Avengers (2012) 24-34]
New Avengers Vol. 2 [New Avengers (2013) 13-23]
Avengers: Time Runs Out [Avengers (2012) 35-44, New Avengers (2013) 24-33]
Or you can get the smaller volumes, available in both hardcover and softcover:
Avengers Vol. 1: Avengers World! [Avengers (2012) 1-6]
Avengers Vol. 2: The Last White Event! [Avengers (2012) 7-11]
New Avengers Vol. 1: Everything Dies [New Avengers (2013) 1-6]
Avengers Vol. 3: Prelude to Infinity! [Avengers (2012) 12-17]
New Avengers Vol. 2: Infinity [New Avengers (2013) 7-12]
Infinity (same hardcover version as the list above; paperback version also available)
Avengers Vol. 4: Infinity! [Avengers (2012) 18-23]
New Avengers Vol. 3: Other Worlds [New Avengers (2013) 13-17]
Avengers Vol. 5: Infinite Avengers! [Avengers (2012) 29-34]
New Avengers Vol. 4: Perfect World [New Avengers (2013) 18-23]
Avengers: Time Runs Out Vol. 1 [Avengers (2012) 35-37; New Avengers (2013) 24-25]
Avengers: Time Runs Out Vol. 2 [Avengers (2012) 38-39; New Avengers (2013) 26-28]
Avengers: Time Runs Out Vol. 3 [Avengers (2012) 40-42; New Avengers (2013) 29-30]
Avengers: Time Runs Out Vol. 4 [Avengers (2012) 43-44; New Avengers (2013) 31-33]
And then all of these lead into:
Secret Wars (2015) (hardcover and softcover available)
Some of these books might be out of print, but you may be able to find them used at a decent price at your comic shop or on ebay. Your cheapest solution will likely be to read the digital versions on Marvel Unlimited.

Hickman's Avengers/New Avengers are collected in a series of oversized hardcovers, some of which are still in print.

When all's said and done you can probably get the whole series plus the hardcovers for Infinity and Secret Wars for less than $250, although if you do buy the Infinity HC it also contains all the issues collected in Avengers Vol. 2, and half the issues collected in New Avengers Vol. 1.
For a really great recent Avengers story I'd recommend Hickman's Avengers and New Avengers.
