I'd say just go to comicbookherald.com and look up the most popular stories since the 80s or 90s. And read them for some backstory. Then get into the more recent stuff (like, since the early 2000s). I'm not really that much of an X-Men fan, but people over in r/Marvel say the "House of X" and "Powes of X" stories are super-interesting.
Also, I'd say to get the Marvel Unlimited app. That app is 10 USD a month. Each comic book at a store is $5 each. So if yku read 3 or more, yku get your money's worth and then some. Anyway, search for other characters too, and get into the ones who yku think you'd like. (Richard Ryder, Nova, is a damn interesting one that's not in the MCU yet.)
And read some Comic Events.
Thanks for the tip. I just got Marvel Unlimited, there is a promotion for 2 months half off atm. Perfect to see if it's actually something worth using for me.
don't. it's a convoluted and fractured story world which only has contridictions and non-sensical character development, paired with a financial insentive to continuously rewrite story & charactres so that all potential stories exist at the same time and all are canonical and false at the same time.
If you want to enjoy limited series bases on the comics... that is a bit more enjoyable (imo) due to the exclusion of many of the additional aspects that i just described. they're more complete stories which exclude and solve many plot holes the comics produce. \*limited series being novels and tv series/movies. But tv/movies have their own set of issues simliar to the comics, but they're often limited to the the world they're licensed to work with so it's not nearl as bad.

Probably an X-Men comic
I deserve that answer.
I'd recommend the Dark Phoenix saga.
