Marvel Comics
Forget about continuity, universes, timelines, etc; it's all very confusing, even to creators/fans. The best way to jump in is to just start reading.
How much time do you have for comics? The answer determines how expansive recommendations are. Regardless, don’t try to read everything. First appearances & early origins are not always good starting points—older comics can be an acquired taste for modern audiences. Remember, there are so many other great characters/stories/publishers to explore (and not all comics are about superheroes).
Think about your favorite stories from other media. What you might like to read in a comic? Are you more interested in good storytelling or becoming a Marvel knowledge nerd?
Creative teams change often and characters get re-worked e.g. I never cared for Hawkeye until Matt Fraction’s run. Focus on well-received and relatively self-contained stories. Pick an interesting character/team and seek their “greatest hits”. You may encounter the occasional unexplained reference/character/event—just ride along (Wiki if necessary).

Generally, the best non-event comics integrate these seamlessly or avoid them entirely (notwithstanding editorial/executive mandates). Regardless, you may want to familiarize with major plot points.

Consider your intent/commitment. Think about your favorite stories/characters from TV, movies, games, books, etc. Do you seek quality storytelling or encyclopedic Marvel knowledge? Plan to collect? What time/resources are available i.e. how many comics could/should be read before burning out?
Don’t try to read everything—there’s too much. Forget about “catching up”, continuity, universes, and timelines; it's all very confusing, even to creators/fans. Older comics can be an acquired taste for modern audiences, so first appearances/early origins may not be the best starting points. Creative teams change often, characters get re-worked, and origins are re-told (e.g. I never cared for Hawkeye until Matt Fractions’ run).

Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender was the first X-Men book I'd ever read and it made me really like the characters. It's a really dark story for the big 2
Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men is great too This book while still serious, is not nearly as dark in tone as Uncanny X-Force.
Here is book 1 of 2 of the "Complete Collection". I'm almost done with book 1 and I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in the hitsquad known as X-force.
I'd also recommend Kyle and Yost's run of X-force (which features Wolverine, X-23, Warpath, Wolfsbane, and Archangel ). But bear in mind this is dark and bloody. Here is book 1 of 2
The omnibus is now out of print, but Marvel is reprinting the series in complete collection form. If you still want to read it, I'd suggest checking that out.
Psylocke: No, that comic isn't very good. Get this (and Volume 2) instead
More X-Men: Messiah Complex and Second Coming are both great. House of M is alright but is only partially an X-Men story.
I highly recommend New X-Men by Grant Morrison, X-Statix by Peter Milligan and Michael Allred, Astonishing X-Men by Joss Whedon and John Cassaday and all of Si Spurrier's X-books.
All-New X-Men: Just the first volume has Magik.
Spider-Gwen: The first is before the second.
Batgirl: They renumbered the volumes when the series hit #35 and got a new creative team.
Female superheroes: X-23 by Marjorie Liu, Silk by Robbie Thompson, Batgirl by Brian Q Miller, Catwoman by Ed Brubaker, Catwoman by Genevieve Valentine, The Death-Defying Doctor Mirage by Jen Van Meter

Introduction to Comics
How to Get Into Comic Books (13:40) | Patrick Willems
Consider your intent/commitment. Think about your favorite shows, movies, books, etc. Reading primarily for enjoyment or encyclopedic knowledge? Collecting? Have the time/resources to read 50 or 500 comics per character?
Don’t try to read everything at once. There’s too much. Forget about catching up, continuity, universes, etc. for now. Older comics can be an acquired taste for modern audiences, so they aren’t necessarily ideal starting points. Writers change often, characters get re-worked, and origins are re-told. Remember, there are many great characters, creators, publishers, etc. to explore.
Pick an interesting character/team and seek their most popular/acclaimed stories. Focus on self-contained, complete stories in one corner of the universe. There will be unexplained references/characters, just persevere or Wiki. Don’t let the tangled web of shared-universe comics overwhelm you. Think of it like solving a jigsaw puzzle one small piece at a time until you finally see the big picture.
Discover your preferences and let them guide you. Don’t get stuck preparing/over-analyzing, just start reading. Do you like/dislike old/new comics? Specific writers/genres? Cartoony/realistic art? Familiar/weird concepts? References/self-contained? All-ages/mature content? Follow these instincts. Didn’t understand a reference? Maybe read that next.
Acquire/Buy comics:
Marvel
DC
You can skip to the 2016 re-launch with DC Universe: Rebirth and then any Rebirth series #1.

Uncanny X-Force - God-tier book. Wolverine leads a secret kill squad for the X-Men. Surprisingly more depth and meaningful character interactions/development than you'd expect from the summary I just gave you.
Check out some more Matt Kindt work - Mind MGMT is fabulous, and I really enjoyed Red Handed.
Also, if you want the DC version of Civil War, released ten years earlier and (IMO) much, much better, give Kingdom Come by Mark Waid a look.
I haven't read Bunn's Deadpool, but IMO the absolute best Deadpool is Joe Kelly's.
Just some other books to check out:
If you have Marvel Unlimited I would check if they have the "Thor" comics by Jason Aaron, they are really good, I think you'll like them.
If you don't hate Batman (not necessarily like him, but you are ok with him haha), "the Black Mirror" by Scott Snyder is super good, it is probably my favorite Batman story and Batman is not even Bruce Wayne, it is Dick Grayson, the original Robin, it is damn good and that one IS dark haha
Not Marvel or DC but judging by what you have said you like (kinda dark, bad ass hero who goes through everything, etc...) I think you would really, reaaaally, like "Preacher" by Garth Ennis. In my opinion, Preacher is one of the best stories in any medium ever, big claim, I know, but that's how much I like it. It is collected in 6 Tradepaperbacks/Hardcovers (60 issues and some miniseries total) at about 10-15 usd each for the trades, so this will keep you entertained for a while.
This is the first volume
My favorite super hero series of all time is "Invincible" by Robert Kirkman, it is a bit more "traditional superhero" stuff but with some really cool twists if you want to check that one out.
I am not a fan of Deadpool alone but if you want something with both him and Wolverine, I think "Uncanny X-Force" by Rick Remender is top notch, definitely my favorite Deadpool, I think the trick is to have him in small doses. You can get the whole thing in two oversized TPB's, here is the first one there are only two volumes, just check that it is the "complete" collection. This one is a bit more "lore" heavy where it will reward you for knowing the backstory, but I think that even if you don't know anything it will be entertaining, However, don't be afraid to google some stuff after you finish or ask here to avoid spoilers.
Daredevil by Mark Waid is also pretty good, that might be on your Marvel Unlimited subscription.
OHHHH, I almost forgot, "Astonishing X-Men" by Josh Whedon is fantastic, again, if you have previous knowledge of the X-Men it is a plus but I think it is new reader friendly. This one is a must, in my opinion as well. There are two volumes of this one, here is the first one (maybe it is on Marvel Unlimited?)
The other X-Men stuff that always gets recommended is New X-Men by Grant Morrison but that one is heavier and harder to follow along, maybe if you really like Astonishing, give this one a try. (again, check Marvel Unlimited, it might be on there)
And finally, I promise, "Runaways" by Brian K. Vaughan, the gist of it is that a group of kids one day find out that their parents are super villains and they decide to ... run away. Again, this is a fantastic read, it takes place in the Marvel Universe, and I think there is going to be a Netflix show sometime...? haha But really, this is one of my favorite stories ever as well, there are 2 collections by Brian K Vaughan, don't bother reading the ones written by anyone else, volume one . (Marvel Unlimited?)
That's all for now haha
Let me know which ones pique your interest and if you decide to pick up any of these, you'll have a blast. Again, if you have any questions ask away!

Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender: The Complete Collection Vol 1
Features Deadpool on the team in one of the best stories he is a part of. Includes the first 19 issues of the comic.
If that one is too expensive, the go for Uncanny X-Force: The Apocalypse Solution. It's half the price, but only included the first four issues. The other is a much better deal.
omnis nice but if you cant wait for a reprint its in 2 thick trades www.amazon.com/Uncanny-X-Force-Rick-Remender-Collection/dp/0785188231/
