Hi everyone, sorry for the missing update last week – I was really busy trying to finish off issue 7 of Batman & Robin (out in January) and was working so hard that I actually forgot about doing a Sin Titulo strip until it was too late! Embarrassing, but that’s what happened.

Very big news this week, as you have noticed by the banner at the top, Sin Titulo took home a 2009 Joe Shuster Award for Best Webcomic. I was unable to attend the ceremony but my good friend Andy Belanger, creator of TX’s Raising Hell, accepted the award on my behalf. Video of his (funny) acceptance can be seen here. Thanks very much everyone involved with the Shusters!

This week’s strip is partially inspired by the scene in Poltergeist 2 in which Craig T. Nelson vomits up the tentacle monster, which was one of the most unsettling things I saw as a kid. I haven’t seen the movie since then but the horror of that scene has always stuck with me.

As always, you can come and discuss Sin Titulo and other stuff at the TX Forums – come and say hello!

    FUCK! what the hell just went on

    Whoa.
    Believe it or not, this actually takes me back. To reading Akira, that is. The series of panel where Tetsuo kills Yamagata via telekinesis have stayed in my head for years. I think more or less made his neck explode.

  3. Mike E. Perez

    OMG!!!

  4. Rex Queems

    Last panel has captured the exact look I had on my face. Why does this installment make my heart beat so hard?!

    oh jeez. poor alex. he can never catch a break, can he? i’m sorry to see his only ally go up in gore, even if the panel looks fantastic. :)

    congratulations on your well deserved shuster award. sounds like willow’s laughter in that acceptance speech clip. kind of hard to hear what andy said, but i suspect that was a cameron stewart mask he slipped on.i think you need to post a transcript. :)

  6. Aviv

    That’s crazy.
    I love it.

    Not John!

    Ugh. Everyone around Alex is just going to drop like flies.

  9. Lynn

    Congrats!!

  10. Wilson

    Holy crap i did not see that coming.

    Funny. I feel slightly guilty when, after viewing the 2nd panel of the sloppy joe face, I couldn’t help but think, “I’m melting! I’m melting!”

    >.>

  11. Kevin

    Jesus Christ!

    What the heck!

  12. Ciaran

    Jesus, that was unexpected! OK, now I’m really hooked…

    Congratulations on the Shuster Award, Cameron. Well deserved.

  13. =PP=

    Oups!

  14. Arwen

    Hardcore puking is scary because it FEELS like you’re puking up your internal organs. Sin Titulo hardcore puking means you really DO puke yourself into oblivion!

  15. Lou Manglass

    I take it his mind couldn’t handle “traveling” to the island.

  16. ArnaudXIII

    Congrats for the awards and another great strip. That was unexpected!

  17. Pyro

    Congrats! this is perhapes one of the best written webcomics i’ve read and my first to comment on, it really is a wonder.

  18. Edward

    haha oh man, I totally thought he’d turn into Alex

  19. Dresline

    Whoa! I was predicting maggot filled eyes like the guy Alex met on the beach a while back but this is way more intense. I wonder what Alex will do now, I was hoping that he wouldn’t have to go spelunking in this rabbit hole alone. Anyway, thanks again Cameron for keeping us guessing and keep up the great work!

  20. Peter

    Whoa. This is probably my 2nd favorite comic behind….Batman and Robin! I’m excited for your upcoming arc, but I have to wonder why it’s already delayed — was Morrison late with getting you the script, were you just a little slow to draw them, or was there a situation with editorial, etc? Not that I mind waiting for quality work, I’m just curious. Anyhow, congratulations on the Shuster and the job on B&R. Thanks for making such good comics!

  21. ChesterCopperpot

    This…Just…Blew…My…Freakin’…Mind!!!
    I’m still in shock! I can’t believe what just happened. In fact, my mouth is still dropped and a puddle of drool has formed at my feet.

  22. Josh

    Hollllyyyy shittt! I would be doing more than just staring horrified if I saw something like that! Beautiful page though!

  23. Arsh

    That… was… wicked.

    He just exploded. Ew. But awesome.

  24. Ali S.

    OMG….what the hell!? WHAT THE HELL!? I’m covered in goosebumps…and not the good kind! Wow. That is crazy scary!

  25. Glenn

    This has to be the worst reaction to a phone call I have ever seen!
    Perhaps Delia is now working in Tele-Marketing…

  26. Alex

    Whoa. I just read this (via reddit link) and got caught up and I am seriously impressed and completely amazed. Keep up the awesome work.

  27. Bry

    AAAAAAAAAAH! Strongest reaction I’ve ever had to a webcomic methinks.

    Also congrats!

  28. ChuckBuried

    Oh man, I think you just broke my heart with what happened to John. That just makes me sad. Amazing comic, can’t wait to see what happens next!

  29. Paul

    Just read your work from beginning to present. Chalk yourself up one more fan.

  30. Junodog

    Yeah, I’m gonna second what ChuckBuried said… I’m actually hoping this is all a hallucination or a horrible nightmare for Alex now, and I’m usually against that sort of plot twist. *waits for next update*

  31. Alyssa

    Damn, alone again. I suppose Murphy’s Law could only be put off so long, seeing as it’s Alex. The first time I read it, I thought John was vomiting ink, since his face had a smeared look, like rubbing a finger over a wet drawing. The fact of his entire upper torso exploding made me reconsider.

    Great comic! It’s wonderful/terrible when you can spoil yourself with a full archive of comics and then have to shiver like a junkie for the next post.

  32. Michael

    Just read them all and by far this is the biggest cliff hanger of the story. My prediction? He wakes up with the other guy with some people from the organization around him. Although it would be much cooler if this is reality and he is basically fucked. Wicked shit man!

  33. ChuckBuried

    Wow. After re-reading the comics, I just recalled the waitress smudging John’s picture of the tree, and it reminds me a lot of john’s face smudging. “hope that wasn’t important” she says. Hrmmm….am I grasping at straws here?

  34. Bartimaeus

    THAT WAS SERIOUSLY FREAKING MORE THAN I NEEDED TO SEE!!!

  35. Zelly

    Oooooo I think Chuck has something there… O_O

  36. yohseph

    wow!
    once again you bring a devestating cliff hanger for us all to drool over.
    great job! these panals are epic.
    panel 8 is what all of us looked like after reading the 1st 7

  37. Vanja Miskovic

    I just started reading “Sin titulo” and it’s much different then I thought it would be. Somehow, I had an idea that it was probably a surreal work, but actually following the story from the beginning to the last update, I got a very different idea. Your work reminds me not so much of “Lost”, but a kind of “Prisoner” meets “the Machinist”, as told by Steven King. I’ll keep reading :)

  38. Stephanie

    OH MY GOD WHAT DID SHE SAY D:

  39. Abhinav

    Need an update desperately! Please publish the next page soon.

  40. Oscar P

    Whaaaat theee fuuuuu…?
    This one of the best webcomics I’ve ever read. seriously.

  41. mick statham

    Wow, I’m away for a few weeks and THIS happens? Awsome.

  42. jeeger

    Reads like a great film.

  43. Grug

    Ugh,

    too bad so sad.

  44. Lau

    Is Alex against a wall in the last panel… or is that someone RIGHT BEHIND HIM??

  45. ignoramus012

    Whatever you’re currently working on better be good, because not getting the next installment for this long is KILLING me! :)

  46. Cyl

    I love the fact that the explosion is represented as an asterisk, fucking creepy.

  47. Stiles

    I sincerely hope this isn’t the end of the series. Granted, it would be a hell of a ballsy ending: enigmatic, shocking, and for damned sure going out with a bang instead of a whimper, but… what the hell is going on?!

  48. Skippy

    OH GOD WHAT HAPPENED????

    Just started reading this story today, and I have to say its the best webcomic I’ve ever read. What a fucking time to start reading though, eh?

  49. jasonic

    why are you not updating? the suspense is killing me!

  50. Gragaband

    Okay, I just started this about an hour and a half ago, and… Jesus damn, this is intense. One of the most intriguing things I’ve ever read; I’m so stoked for the next update.

  51. jon

    Come on you are killing me here. You can’t just make someone’s head explode and then stop the strip. Please continue.

    Please

  52. Gaspard

    hey man, awesome strip

    take your time with the update, but if it is possible then don’t drop this project :D

    keep it up !

  53. Neandrew

    Keep it up

    (meant bothsupporitngly, and begging, please )

  54. mattk

    This can’t be it. Where’s the rest? The suspense is killing me, literally!

  55. Pope

    I can get behind any comic where a main character explodes.

  56. Mike Myhre

    …the end?…

  57. bbrakhage

    Oh my god, why the HELL does it end here?

  58. Pedro Falcao

    Man, please keep it up! Amazing style and intriguing story. In case you need any translation to Portuguese or Spanish, drop a line!

  59. Carlos Rocha

    Hey man, you need back soon, we need read more. Pls!

  60. tdubs

    I’m new here, wow.

    Thanks.

  61. Roo

    Lurker mode off. I can’t count how many times I went “Whaaaat the fuuuuu…?” while reading this. Btw, I’m reading from the beginning after the Kate Beaton twitter recommendation.

    This is so good.

  62. Roman

    Thank you! It’s defenitely one of the best (or even just “best”) web-comic I ever read. Can’t stop reading this. You got fans in Russia now )
