I would not compare even the best graphic novels I've read with the truly great writers of today, writers like Cormac McCarthy, Don DeLillo, Philip Roth, Cynthia Ozick and what have you. However, as a fan of Neil Gaiman's Sandman series (currently on volume five), Maus, and several other graphic novels, and as someone who has read some of the young writers (such as David Foster Wallace) that are supposed to be the future of literature, I think graphic novels can easily compare with the "future" great writers. Do you think graphic novels get a bad reputation? Should they be considered quality literature?

Graphic novels should be considered quality literature if they are of high quality. Not if they are trash. Same as everything else. It's always hard to judge art when it's new. People tend to dismiss everything that hasn't had a chance to prove that it can stand the test of time.
