It sort of kind of follows the comic, but not really. Just for a sense of how things have already diverged:
The whole CDC thing was never in the comic.
Shane is already dead by this point in the comic.
Darryl/Merle don't exist in the comic.
The whole "Vatos" thing - those guys defending the old folks home - wasn't in the comic.
The tank Rick hid in when he first got to Atlanta wasn't in the comic.
Jacqui, the black woman who died in the last episode, wasnt' in the comic.
Andrea, Dale, Glenn, Rick, Lori, and Carl are all in the comic.
So, the series diverges quite a bit. I've been fine with it. I love both the comic and the show, but I feel the show is better.
