I wonder if it's intentional, or just my dyslexia rearing its head that I keep reading "Fanime" as "Famine".

Probably the dyslexia then, it's supposed to be a portmanteau (holy crap I spelled that right without spellcheck?!) of "fan" and "anime" :P

Also, is this an alternate Marvel storyline, or part of the main storyline?

Chocolate-coated biscuit sticks may not exactly be health food, but I most certainly don't mind shoving them in my mouth.

And today I learned that Shyamalan apparently writes plots for superhero comics these days.

Main storyline. It is probably a gimmick that will be undone -- he's a triple agent, or it was mind-control with implanted memories, or something. But that's almost worse, because then they're treating the evil of the Nazis (technically Hydra, which was primarily invented because WWII was over and there wasn't any organized Nazi party to punch anymore) with flippancy in the name of making money.
