Review/plot:
I was pretty excited to see Roger Stern writing Moonstone again until i saw Mantlo was on dialogue.

Still, this is a fine fight issue. Moonstone is after Doc Connor's Enervator (actually the portable version created by Peter Parker), a device that Connors says could either boost her powers or destroy her.

Spider-Man is able to get it off of her before it explodes.

In subplots, the Debra/Peter/Biff triangle continues, but Peter also starts to get friendly with his fellow TA Marcy Kane (the one from the wig gag in previous issues of this series).

References:

• Moonstone previously appeared in Hulk #228 through Hulk #233, and Captain America #230.
  
• The portable version of Doc Connors' enervator was created in Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #34. It was used again as part of a cure when Peter became the Spider-Lizard in Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #40.

Crossover: N/A

it feels much more like Mantlo than Stern
