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).

Suggestions to improve the list are welcome.
The best stuff to read before Secret Wars is Jonathan Hickman's Avengers and New Avengers series that led up to the event.

How to Get Into Comic Books (13:40) | Patrick Willems
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).
Pick an interesting character/team and seek their “greatest hits”. Don’t get stuck “preparing”, just start reading. Focus on well-received, relatively self-contained, and complete stories. You may encounter the occasional unexplained reference/character/event—just ride along (Wiki if necessary). Remember, there are so many other great characters and publishers to explore, and not all comics are about superheroes.

So you're gonna want to start with Hickman's Avengers Vol 1 and then you're gonna want to read Hickman's New Avengers Vol 1 then Vol 2 of Avengers then Infinity
Here is a full reading order with everything you need
Volume 1
Volume 2
Volume 3
Here are the currently released issues in trade paperback form. Volume 3 only goes to issue 17, and the image is from issue 23, so the trade paperbacks are behind.
Oh sure, so to be clear I think the whole "permanent physical transformation" part of terrigenesis is a little underexplored. If you want to check them out anyway my two recommendations would be:
Hey good luck! Comics aren't cheap but I hope you check one of these out!
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.

So this (amazon) and this (amazon) ?
So that is Jonathan Hickman's Fantastic Four, Fantastic Family, Avengers, and New Avengers? I'm still having trouble navigating the short hand and editions.
Since you want to read Civil War, I'd say that's as good a place as any to start.
Other recommendations I would make of newer stuff;
Avengers
New Avengers
Infinity
It might seem intimidating to jump into a series without knowing a ton of backstory on characters, but that's what I did, (New Avengers) and I still enjoyed it quite a bit. It was nice not having pre-conceived notions about how a character should be written.
My advice: jump in there head first and read whatever catches your eye.
Avengers/New Avengers can be read in the order of each trade. They both come together for Infinity but that will be collected in it's own volume.
Avengers Volume 1
New Avengers Volume 1
