where to start?

So I own the comics already but haven't gotten around to reading them yet, and now the movie is available, so this might be the right place to ask: which first? Do I read the comics and then watch the movie, or the other way around? Opinions are appreciated. :D

I read the first volume of the comics, then saw the movie, then read the second volume. I think having a little more backstory from the first volume of the comics primed me to jump right into the movie and connect with the characters, and it also let me catch some Easter eggs. I'd personally recommend saving the second volume until after the movie, as it more or less lines up as a sequel.
