There are headlines in which I'm only interested in the comments (usually because I've seen the article or already know a lot about the subject and don't expect to learn anything from the article), but on headlines where I am interested in both, I usually open both the comments and the article in different tabs, and read each while the other is open, but in an order that depends strongly on the day and the content. If, for example, I find something surprising or incredible in the article, I'll often switch to the comments to see if it was mentioned or debunked, before continuing.
