No one can help you senpai. If you think the movie timeline's confusing, the comics will give you an aneurysm. Also there's no point in getting into Xmen now at all. Disney's been fucking x characters left, right and centre to deter people from the books and the franchise
Claremont's run or Morrison's run. Everything else worth a shit is just a rip off of one of those.
The early Kirby comics are solid but forgettable and not a good place to start.
Giant Size X-Men #1 by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum then read Claremont's run starting with X-Men #94

Ultimate Kitty, Storm, Jean, and Dazzler

pretty much any X-book with Claremont's name on it.... until the early 90s when he first left

I swear we have this thread 3 times per day, not complaining
The classic X-Men run is the one of Claremont, he made the X-Men the most popular comic book, created most characters and most classic stories, but his run lasted like 17 years, like 1975 to 1991 iirc, and it can be an overwhelming ammount of content.
If you want something more recent, read Morrison's New X-Men (the only thing you need to know is Emma Frost was a villain who became a hero in the 90s, but people still didnt trust her completely because of her past)
After that read Whedon's Astonishing X-Men
And after that read the House of M event, which is the moment in which Marvel decided to basically dump the X-Men for the Avengers as their biggest franchise in comics.
From House of M on, the Messiah CompleX event, Remember's X-Force, and Gillen's Uncanny X-Men are worth reading if you want team books. The Schism event, and the Avengers vs X-Men event are not great but necessary for understanding what happened.
BTW, user X-Anon is storytiming mid 80s Claremont X-Men right now, and plans on storytiming them till the present day.
there is a thread right now >>83397431
do the cartoons tell the stroy well?
>>83434508
the stories are loosely inspired, mainly, in the claremont run with obviously less violence.
Some obvious differences, Kitty Pryde never appears in the cartoon, Jean never dies, and the stories, based on comics from the 80s, have the team of the 90s, with no Nightcrawler and Colossus.
days of the future past in the cartoon has Bishop.
