I live in the US, so using my Faithful US-Living Powers That Be, I'll attempt 
to answer that question:

Last year, "Free Comic Book Day" took place at local comic book stores 
shortly after the theatrical release of the "Spider-Man" movie--as kind of a 
"tie-in" type of deal. Comic stores offered a selection of free comics sent 
by the publishers, in an attempt to draw in new readers and potential 
customers.

Apparently, the project was so successful that they're attempting to make 
this an annual event. Personally, I'm glad there will be a Disney giveaway 
this year--and what was originally a giveaway, at that!

It's just overall great to have Disney comics back in the US. Whoo!
