The two are very different from each other in plot and direction. They share character names and the general concept (superheros are bad and must be monitored), and that's about it. The tv show takes a pretty quick left turn from the comics, and keeps on going. Reading one is not LIKELY to spoil the other, given the very different changes in overall direction

I recently read the comics and there's only 1 thing you find out that could end up being a major spoiler in the show.
The comics are basically an excuse for the writer to wipe his ass with the DC and Marvel comic universes, with only thinly veiled recreations of the most popular characters. It's a lot of fun and a really well structured story, pretty much everything done in the 72 comic series comes together for the climax.
They are as brutally violent of a comic series as I've ever read, equally gory and unsettling as the Walking Dead series.
