OK, GenScar got them, but as far as expanding the island, Cobra tried to make another island in the same area as the original, but the Joes figured out what they were up to and rushed to get their own flag on it before Cobra could. However, the fault line wasn't as stable and Cobra did something different than what the Joes did the first time, so the island surfaced but ended up crumbeling back into the sea, not to be claimed be either side. I can't recall the issue in which this happened, but it was a Marvel book.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.
