Would someone please explain the reading order of the Hickman X books?

I recently purchased Marvel Unlimited. I hear the Hickman X books are good. Would someone explain the order of how it should be read?

Also, is it better than his Avengers/New Avengers runs?

Thanks!

Start with HoX/PoX and then read his Xmen 2019 series which has some 21 issues.

Hickman also wrote some One shots called Giant Size Xmen which tell a separate self contained story.

I would say it’s as good as his previous work but it’s also different in key ways.

And look at the checklist at the back of each issue which tells you everything that came out the same month. This is crucial when it comes to the X of Swords and Hellfire Gala crossovers. Outside of the crossovers, you can read them arc by arc, but for the crossovers, the order they're listed is strictly the order they should be read.

Caveat: Ignore April 2020's checklist, as those issues didn't come out when they were meant to.
