What you might want is what I can the mile marker outline. It's not a blow-by-blow; instead, list your major events and/or set peices. It's up you to figure out what the road trip actually looks like. Maybe you know you're going to LA, but the kid in the backseat throws up. Or, your best buddy wants to see the largest ball of string which is fifty miles of the main road. The point is you know how much time and space you have to get where you are going, but you still have freedom to explore the terrain.

From that point you can easily tell if you like outlining or Discovery better. It's a personal decision.

That's my answer to your asked question, but comic writing has more concerns that I think might push a successful writer toward outlining. The best writers pay on a consistent schedule, never (I mean never) missing a post. To do that you have to work ahead to have a cache of ready comics for when you get sick or want a vacation. And that works best when you have a direction.

I don't know how you get feedback and fame, but you've got to do the work. Working about how you get attention isn't useful if you're not making something great, consistently.
