'M from the Philippines. We don't have any medium that track sales so I don't know how popular western "comics" are, but from my personal exp, when I don't buy popular "hardcovers" during the 1st week of release ie Batman, Justice League, Avengers etc... then they'd most likely be sold out the ff week(fullybooked).
I waited weeks for the absolute blackest night because they immediately went out of stock. Then again, it's possible that they only order few stocks. Japanese manga is still way more popular here than American comics.
Superhero "movies" is a different matter though. Iic The Man of Steel broke the all time opening record in the Philippines which was held by the Ironman 3. The dark night, the avengers, etc are also big.
